'Thunderbird Island' - well, that's what I called it until I found out the real name... Some 500m offshore in Island Bay lies small Tapu Teranga Island , a recreational reserve for which the bay is named. The caves of the island were once a hiding place for local Maori, when attacked by other tribes. This island forms a natural breakwater, giving the suburb a sheltered anchorage.
