Cable Bay is quite near to Mangonui, and in fact is basically the beach (Cooper’s beach) where we stopped to watch the sunset the first day we came into the Northern part of Northland.
We connected to the Internet from Cooper’s Beach that first night, using our mobile broadband stick from Telecom to call the Summerfields Country Retreat, where we’ve been staying here in Northland.
Cable Bay is famous for its ice cream shop. You may want to stop here for an ice cream yourself on any summer’s day, or on any warm winter day.
