The Manaia Harbor is located on the west coast of the Coromandel Peninsula , around 11 km southwest of Coromandel and about 34 kilometers north of Thames . The natural harbor is around 4.5 km long and has a maximum width of 1.26 km. The water, which is open to the west and heavily silted up towards the end, has a port entrance a good 1100 m wide and has a coastline of around 14.5 km. Directly in front of the entrance to the natural harbor are the two smaller islands Tataweka Island and Wekarua Island , which protect the harbor from the rough sea.
