Musick Point / Te Naupata, Historic coastal point in Bucklands Beach, Auckland Region, New Zealand
The peninsula extends into the Waitematā Harbour, forming the eastern shore of the Tāmaki River with views over the Motukorea Channel and Tāmaki Strait.
The Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki tribe constructed Te Waiarohia Pā on the headland, which remained their stronghold until Ngāpuhi forces captured it in 1821.
The land holds significance for Māori communities who utilized the abundant marine resources and established defensive positions marked by still-visible defensive ditches.
The Musick Memorial Radio Station operates as a museum where visitors can learn about maritime communications and explore the Streamline Moderne architecture.
The headland was renamed in 1942 to honor Ed Musick, while serving as a critical communications hub for American naval forces during World War II.
