Welcome to Anaura Bay
57km from Gisborne
Anaura Bay is one of the most beautiful of all the East Cape Bays.  It is well worth the 7km drive. Steeped in history, Captain Cook berthed at Anaura where he was warmly welcomed by local Māori, after a speedy retreat from Poverty Bay! Anaura is a very safe haven with a flat golden sanded beach with great fishing. Against a backdrop of wonderful native bush is a well formed DOC walkway.  This 4.5km loop track is family friendly, taking about 2 hours. The Anaura Bay DOC campsite (open Labour weekend to Easter weekend) is found near the entrance to the walkway. As you arrive at the bottom of the hill directly in front of you is the entrance to Anaura Bay Family Motor Camp. A left turn here will take you to Anaura Bay Retreat & Rangimarie Beachstay. The potential of commercial banana growing is being investigated on the East Coast
