New Zealand - Bay of Islands & Northland (Chapter) Lonely Planet

Beaches are the main drawcard to this region and they're present in profusion, with barely a scrap of development or another human in sight. History hangs heavily here also, with the site of the earliest settlements of both Maori and Europeans.

Coverage includes: Mangawhai, Waipu & Bream Bay, Whangarei, Tutukaka Coast & the Poor Knights Islands, Bay of Islands, Paihia & Waitangi, Kerikeri, Whangaroa Harbour, Doubtless Bay, Karikari Peninsula, Cape Reinga & Ninety Mile Beach, Opononi & Omapere, Waipoua Forest and Trounson Kauri Park.
