Just a beautiful place & Would love to visit again. When we went there, there were not many birds as we didn’t go when it was high tide & also we just went for a short walk. We would still love to visit again when there is high tide & go for the 30 mins walk. The place is beautiful then it looks in the pictures. The photos are edited with a photo effect, but it is still as beautiful. Worth a visit.

An amazing place to visit. Great information centre with really friendly helpful staff. Gift shop is wonderful, really good quality books and gifts. And the trip out to the bird hides is well with it. What's a treasure.
The Centre is a very informative place to start the birdwatching walk (and hire binoculars). Near the bird hides helpful volunteers taught us how to spot different species. We got to see godwits before they left!
It was quite the bird centre, with an abundance of information on birds and a nice selection of bird books to purchase. It has a free entry and you can donate 5 of you choose to. The scenery, in the summer, is incredible, with the bluest waters. Best of all, it is quiet and calm, as it is off the main road onward to Thames and is far away from the huge traffic jams near the Kopu intersection onward to the east coast of Coromandel. Because of this very few people go anywhere near the west of the Firth of Thames. Bird watching during my visit were early in the morning or past 7pm, in short during high tide. This is something that all visitors need to be aware of.
A wide variety of birds were seen on our visit to this beautiful coastal area. We visited in November 2019 and saw lots of white faced heron, pied stilts, godwits, sandpipers and oystercatchers. If you are looking for a wild camping area this is ideal!
How amazing those godwits are!!! Couldn't believe how close we got. And the friendly staff at the Info centre. We hired binoculars for 5.
A fantastic must see in Miranda. Also to see the godwits 200 metres South of the Shorebird Centre there until March when they return to Alaska to breed.
Wonderful photos, information, clean, comfortable, friendly, Close to hides. Well worth putting on your " Bucket list".
