Tangoio

Tangoio is a farming locality and beach 23 kilometres north of Napier,[1] 7 kilometres north of Whirinaki and 7 kilometres south-west of Waipatiki Beach[2] in the Hawke's Bay Region of New Zealand's North Island. The locality is on the flat along Te Ngarue Stream[1] and State Highway 2. It is part of Hastings District. Tangoio has been the official name since it replaced Tongoio in 1930.[3] Near Tangoio Beach is Whakaari Headland, the site of a whaling station in the 1840s and a Maori canoe landing reserve.[4]
