Green Bay

This bay gives no shelter in prevailing westerly to northerly winds. It has calm water in northerly to southerly winds but in a strong south-easterly to southerly the wind funnels out of it with considerable force. 

Green Bay is open to the ferry wash.

There are some holiday batches with private jetties and moorings. 

History

This bay may have originally been known by the name, Ōhaupō, which means night wind.1
