South Kaipara Head, also known as the South Kaipara Peninsula, commonly known as just South Head, and officially Te Korowai-o-Te-Tonga Peninsula, is a long peninsula in the North Island of New Zealand, extending north along the western edge of the Kaipara Harbour for some 35 kilometres (22 mi) from near Helensville to the harbour's mouth. The peninsula was officially renamed in 2013 as part of a Treaty of Waitangi settlement. The mouth of the Kaipara Harbour separates the peninsula from the larger Pouto Peninsula to the north.
