About Bay of Islands
In the Far North District, on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island, lies the Bay of Islands. Fishing, boating and tourism have long drawn people there, and the area gained a name overseas for big-game fishing after the American author Zane Grey wrote about it. The city of Whangārei is to the south-east.
