Mokau is a small town in northern Taranaki on New Zealand's North Island, located at the mouth of the Mokau River on the North Taranaki Bight. State Highway 3 passes through the town on its route from Te Kuiti to Waitara and eventually New Plymouth. Mokau is a popular location for whitebaiting and other fishing including Kahawai fishing mainly found at the rivermouth and Snapper fishing found right along the coast in several spots. Mokau also has a couple of outstanding surf breaks that in the right conditions can produce waves up to 6ft. A town filled with history, it is the perfect place to escape the crowds and experience the rugged Taranaki coastline. The Mokau River is located in the North Island of New Zealand. The river rises as a spring in the Pureroa Forest, south of Te Kuiti, on the slopes of the Rangitoto Range and after briefly following a north-westward course it turns south-westwards and flows for 158 kilometres through the Waitomo District. It enters the North Taranaki Bight at its mouth at Mokau. Although the rivermouth is enclosed by a large sandbar, with a high tide larger vessels can pass safely and enter the river which is navigable for 37 kilometres upstream. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, the banks of the river were host to a thriving industry of logging and coal-mining. However, the risks and costs of transporting goods down the Mokau eventually ended such enterprise. Today the river is a popular whitebaiting and kayaking location.
