Golden Bay / Mohua
New Zealand, New Zealand
Golden Bay / Mohua is a shallow, scenic bay on New Zealand's northwest South Island in the Tasman District, an arm of the Tasman Sea protected by the 26-km Farewell Spit sandspit and fed by the Aorere and Tākaka rivers.
Bordered by Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks, it features golden beaches, limestone caves, and towns like Tākaka and Collingwood, drawing visitors for hiking, kayaking, and its artistic community with a population around 5,800 that swells in summer.
Once called Massacre Bay after early European-Māori clashes and later renamed for gold and coal finds, it offers pristine nature, whale sightings, and a relaxed vibe accessible via the winding Tākaka Hill road.
