Photo: Rangaunu Bay New Zealand

Rangaunu Bay in Pukenui, New Zealand is a large mouth bay where boats take pleasure in docking for a day or two.

What more could you ask for in a bay? Amazing colored waters, surrounded by lush greenery, fairly shallow waters where the bottom of the bay is made up of white sand, sunny skies, a peaceful atmosphere and great moorage is what Rangaunu Bay in Pukenui, New Zealand has to offer.Things to see in Rangaunu Bay without even going ashore are the great numbers of fish and shellfish along with many other sea animals such as crabs, starfish and sea cucumbers. Two types of dolphins are often seen in the bay where they gather and feed and on occasion a Humpback Whale or Killer Whale will come into Rangaunu Bay to mosey around.The plants and trees that grow along the hillsides of Rangaunu Bay in New Zealand have different shades of greens to them. They flourish under the sunny skies and thrive in the dampness around the shores of the bay.Not far from Rangaunu Bay on the North Island of New Zealand, you will find Ninety Mile Beach and Cape Reinga. ... continue below the picture...
