Haumoana is a coastal town just south of the Tukituki River outlet in Hawke Bay on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island.

It is located 12 km south of Napier and ten kilometres east of Hastings.

The village incorporates a school, a Presbyterian Church, a general store, a takeaway shop, a hall and a fire station.

The village was developed as a holiday settlement with beaches, and the surrounding area has historically been used for sheep and cattle grazing and horticulture.

[3] The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "sea breeze" for Haumoana.

The underlying soil material has been laid down by rivers and the sea margin.

The coastal erosion rate at Clifton south of Te Awanga is slightly higher.

[5][6] Haumoana has a reticulated water supply managed by the Hastings District Council.

Statistics New Zealand describes Haumoana as a rural settlement, which covers 4.92 km2 (1.90 sq mi).
