Tutukaka

Tutukaka is a locality on the east coast of Northland, New Zealand, in an area commonly referred to as the Tutukaka Coast.[1] The city of Whangarei is to the southwest. The residential areas of Tutukaka fringe the hills surrounding Tutukaka Harbour, which has a history as a local fishing port and hosts Tutukaka's marina.

As the closest marina to the Poor Knights Islands, Tutukaka is the base for boat tours for diving and snorkelling in the waters around these protected islands. At the peak of the busy summer months, Tutukaka's population swells from around 600 permanent residents to over 2,400.[2] A walking track leads from Tutukaka to a small lighthouse at Tutukaka Head (South Gable).
