You won’t find this charming, pinch-yourself it’s so-idyllic bay in the guide books either. The Bay is at Bowentown Heads, at the southern end of Waihi Beach.
Anzac Bay has a boat ramp, changing rooms and toilets, plus shady pohutakawa trees and barbecues. Watch out for a fast outgoing tide through the nearby southern entrance to Tauranga Harbour.
