🌊 South Taranaki Bight

The South Taranaki Bight is a large bay on the west coast of New Zealand, south of Taranaki, west of the Manawatū, north and west of the western entrance of Cook Strait and north of the South Island. The name is sometimes used for a much smaller bay in South Taranaki, between the mouth of the Kaupokonui Stream directly south of Mount Taranaki and the mouth of the Pātea River.
