Moturoa / Rabbit Island, Tidal island in Tasman Bay, New Zealand.
The island extends east to west for 8 kilometers in Tasman Bay, encompassing 15 square kilometers of land with pine plantations and sandy beaches.
Seven thousand years ago, multiple barrier islands accumulated near the Waimea River mouth, gradually forming what is now known as Moturoa Island.
The Māori presence on Moturoa spans over 800 years, with the island receiving its dual name Moturoa / Rabbit Island in August 2014.
Visitors can access the island through a causeway connecting to the mainland, with facilities including gas barbecues, dressing sheds, and designated cycling paths.
The island features a new disc golf course with stainless steel baskets and an equestrian trail connecting the boat ramp area to the beachfront.
