Matauri Bay — photo spot in Matauri Bay 0478, New Zealand
Matauri Bay
Matauri Bay is a sheltered, turquoise bay on Northland’s east coast framed by pohutukawa, rocky headlands and views toward the Cavalli Islands. Photograph glassy reflections at sunrise, dramatic skies in winter storms, low-tide foregrounds and occasional dolphins or passing boats. Access is by road with informal parking near the beach; short walks to headlands give elevated compositions. Respect local iwi and private land — most shooting is from public foreshore and tracks.
