caption_attribution_description: English: Taken from the south end of the bay, looking towards Rangitoto. West Tamaki Head is on the left hand side.
context_page_description: Karaka Bay or Waiarohe is on the western shore of the Tāmaki River mouth in the suburb of Glendowie, Auckland. The bay is bordered to the north by Te Papa a Tamatera and looks out to the islands of the eastern Waitematā Harbour: Rangitoto, Motutapu, Motukorea, Motuihe and Waiheke as well as to Musick Point across the estuary. It is accessed by boat or by a steep path that winds down the hill from the end of Peacock Street; there is no road access to the bay itself. This lack of road access has given Karaka Bay a unique sense of identity; it is unlike anywhere else in Auckland.
