Coxs Bay or Opoututeka is a bay located in the Waitematā Harbour, within the Auckland region of New Zealand. It is situated between the settlements of Westmere to the southwest and Herne Bay to the northeast, with Grey Lynn to the southeast. The bay is protected from the west by Te Tokoroa/Meola Reef, the end of one of the longest lava flows in the Auckland volcanic field.[1][2]
