Cape Colville

Cape Colville is the northernmost point of the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand's North Island.

The small settlements of Port Jackson and Fletcher Bay lie immediately to the west and east respectively of the cape.

Port Jackson Bay, just to the south of the Cape, has been inhabited since at least the fifteenth century.

[2] At the south end of the Bay, at Port Jackson, a water-powered flax mill existed in 1901,[3] when the population was just 12.

[9] Killer whales (orca) inhabit the waters offshore, where they specialise in hunting eagle rays.
