TAPU Bay is a big sweeping bay at the end of which marks the southernmost of the granite headlands of the Abel Tasman National Park, extending fifty kilometres along the coast.

Tapu Bay itself is a vast sandflat extending around the southern end of Tasman Bay.

The Maori named this place Tapu - sacred. I don't know what was sacred about this area. Perhaps it was because this was the gateway to a paradise.
