Ripirō Beach is a sandy stretch on the west coast of Northland, New Zealand, extending from the Maunganui Bluff in the north down the Pouto Peninsula to the Kaipara Harbour mouth in the south.

The swamp at Omamari was drained in 1898, in order for the area to be dug for kauri gum.

[2] This beach is home of the famous local shellfish delicacy the toheroa.

[3] Notable ships wrecked on Ripirō Beach include the French corvette L'Alcmene (1851)[4][5][6] and the yacht Askoy (1994).

[7][8][9][10] In either 1807 or 1808 at Moremonui Gully where it enters Ripirō Beach, 19 kilometres (12 miles) south of Maunganui Bluff, Ngāti Whātua ambushed Ngāpuhi in the Battle of Moremonui, the first Māori battle to involve muskets,[11] initiating a larger conflict which became known as the Musket Wars.
