Bay of Islands

Tucked between the Bay of Islands and Northland’s rolling inland country, Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community is a place whose character is shaped by sheltered Pacific waters and a long Māori and maritime presence. The Bay of Islands is a drowned-valley seascape of islands, coves and peninsulas on New Zealand’s northeast coast, while Whangaroa Harbour lies farther north. At Waitangi, in the wider Bay of Islands area, the Treaty of Waitangi was first signed in 1840, an event central to New Zealand’s history. Coastal settlements, farming country and boating routes give this part of Northland a dispersed rhythm rather than the feel of a single urban centre.
