Papatea Bay is one of numerous small bays which lie between the eastern end of the Bay of Plenty and East Cape in the northeast of New Zealand's North Island.[1][2] A wide, gently curving bay, it lies approximately halfway between East Cape and Ōpōtiki. The small settlement of Raukokore lies on the shore of the bay.[3]
