Hoopers Inlet, Coastal inlet in Otago Peninsula, New Zealand.
Hoopers Inlet consists of extensive sand and mud flats during low tide, with a large spit narrowing its entrance toward the Pacific Ocean.
The inlet's name origins link to Daniel Cooper, captain of the Unity ship, which operated in the area during early sealing operations.
The Māori name Puke-tu-roto reflects the inlet's geographical features, translating to hills standing around a lake in English.
Visitors can access Hoopers Inlet through roads connecting from Portobello and Dunedin, with a network of hiking trails surrounding the area.
The wetlands behind Allans Beach at the inlet's mouth create habitats for numerous bird species and distinct flora communities.
