Doubtless Bay is a large inlet on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand, north-east of the town of Kaitaia, in the Far North District, Northland. It extends from Knuckle Point on Karikari Peninsula in the north to Berghan Point at Hihi in the south. There are rocky headlands, the long Tokerau Beach, smaller beaches such as Taipa, Cable Bay and Coopers Beach, and the largely estuarial Mangonui Harbour. A more-or-less contiguous string of settlements make up Taipa-Mangonui, which is the largest urban area north of Kaitaia.
