Whatuwhiwhi or Karikari is a settlement at the northern end of Tokerau Beach, on the Karikari Peninsula of Northland, New Zealand. To the south is Doubtless Bay.
Kaitaia is about 39 km away.
There are three shaded and sandy coves. Swimming is safe, but it is not a good anchorage because it is exposed to the south-east.
