Waihaorangatahi Bay
✨ Hidden gem
Waihaorangatahi Bay is a natural anchorage on Waiheke Island's coastline, offering reasonable holding in calm conditions. It's a quieter, more off-the-beaten-track spot compared to the busier bays around the island, so you'll likely have more space to yourself. Keep an eye on the forecast though — if the weather turns, you're better off moving to a more sheltered option nearby.
