Mangawhai Heads (also known as Mangawhai) and Waipu Township are two towns situated at either side of the harbour.

The historic township of Waipu is home to many people of Scottish descent. The local museum is filled with colonial era treasures that came with the early settlers.

Follow the coast to Waipu Cove, Langs Beach and Mangawhai Heads. All the way you’ll enjoy stunning views of the Hen and Chickens Islands and an endless parade of perfect waves breaking on clean white sand.
