Whangaroa's immediate history goes back to Maori settlement, a mission station, gum digging, and a prodigious boom time when kauri logs were brought from the surrounding hills in enormous quantities, settlements and mills flourished, and busy shipbuilding yards operated around the harbour. In the years between 1850 and 1909 these ship yards produced over 100 ships - schooners, brigantines and ketches - which sailed the high seas and ended up in all corners of the globe.
Those days are past, but the unspoilt beauty remains to delight the traveler. The harbour itself is the jewel in a crown of beautiful bays that encircle Whangaroa's coastline. There are still substantial areas of native bush within the county. The small townships and settlements keep their sense of history and some of their original buildings remain to carry whispers of the past into the 21st century. Whangaroa remains a mecca for the game fisherman. Pristine white sandbays and clear water create the classic kiwibeach holidayin summer time. Whangaroa ... you can't go past it. It's natures own coast.
Whangaroa is one of New Zealand's premier game fishing destinations and is the undisputed Marlin capital of New Zealand. Located in an incredibly beautiful harbour, fishing here is a way of life. A range of fishing options are available from deep water Marlin excusions to light line snapper and small boat fishing. The gamefish club on the waters edge is a great place to refresh after a day on the water and to swap yarns about the one that got away.
Behind the town is a walking track to the top of St Pauls peak where fabulous views looking down the harbour can be appreciated. The last 10 metres involves basic rock climbing and is not for the faint hearted. Don’t miss out on visiting this fabulous location!
