Hawke's Bay Attractions

 
This crescent bay lies on the east side of the North Island, near Hastings. It was given its name (after Admiral Lord Hawke) by Captain Cook in 1769. It is bounded on the northeast by the Mahia Peninsula and on the southwest by Cape Kidnappers.

Hawke's Bay has a Mediterranean climate, with little rain and long hours of sunshine, conditions ideal for fruit growing and horticulture, including vines and various vegetables. In spite of this the population has been steadily declining in recent years.
