Motuhoa Island

About

Motuhoa Island is in the western Bay of Plenty of New Zealand's North Island, in Tauranga Harbour, over 2 km (1.2 mi) long, up to 35 m (115 ft) high and about 1.25 km (0.78 mi) southeast of Ōmokoroa, with 5 km (3.1 mi) of low cliff, which on the north is up to 8 m (26 ft) high, with almost no vegetation. A boat ramp is near the east tip of the island, on the north shore. For the 2018 census, the island had a population too small to record. Shore skinks live on the beaches.
