Aside from Rere Bay, there’s another anchorage in Whangaroa at the base of steep cliffs. It’s on the north side of the harbor, just behind Peach Island. We passed it numerous times, but because of time constraints we didn’t get to stay there.
Still, it’s a neat-looking place, and if we get ever get back up to Whangaroa Harbour we’d love to anchor there. For now, we have the photos we took as we motored by. –Cyndi
