Whanganui A Hei (Cathedral Cove) Marine Reserve

Te Whanganui-o-Hei Marine Reserve is in the southern part of Mercury Bay on the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand covering an area of 840 hectares. On the coast of the mainland, it stretches from Cook Bluff in the north-west to the northern end of Hahei Beach in the south-east. Its offshore extremes run from Motukorure Island through Waikaranga Island to Okorotere Island and the northern end of Mahurangi Island.

Etymology
The Māori name for Mercury Bay, Te Whanganui-o-Hei (meaning the Great Bay of Hei), refers to Hei, a tohunga from the Te Arawa waka. According to tradition, Hei chose the area around Mercury Bay as home for his tribe, proclaiming ownership by calling Motueka Island "Te Kuraetanga-o-taku-Ihu" (the outward curve of my nose). It is said he made this claim near the present-day town of Hahei. == In popular culture ==

The cave and beach were used as the tunnel through which the Pevensie children first re-enter Narnia in the movie version of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008). The cove was used as one of the locations in the music video for the song "Can't Hold Us" (2011) by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis featuring Ray Dalton. == Gallery ==
