Oke Bay
✨ Hidden gem
Oke Bay is a quietly beautiful anchorage tucked into the mainland shore of the Bay of Islands, with a lovely beach and good holding ground that makes it easy to settle in for the night. It's less dramatic than the offshore island spots, but that's part of the appeal — it feels unhurried and genuinely peaceful. From here you can swim straight off the boat and find short walks up to elevated viewpoints over the bay.
