Kennedy Bay (also called Kennedy's Bay and Harataunga) is a locality in the north eastern Coromandel Peninsula of New Zealand. The Harataunga and Omoho Streams flow from the Coromandel Range past the settlement and into the bay to the east.
There are several companies aquafarming pāua, lobster and mussels in the bay.
History and culture
The area originally belonged to Ngāti Huarere, who gave it to Ngāti Tamaterā in recognition of their help after a conflict with Ngāti Hei. They gave it to Ngāti Porou, who had used it as a shelter during trading trips to Auckland, in thanks for assistance against the Ngā Puhi in the Musket Wars of the early 19th century.
In July 1815, the schooner Brothers and the Trial were attacked by local Māori with the loss of several crew from both vessels. The incident may have been provoked by unscrupulous trading by a Captain Hovell earlier.
Te Paea o Hauraki Marae is located at Kennedy Bay. It is a tribal meeting ground for Ngāti Tamaterā and includes Te Paea meeting house.
