Waiheke Island https://www.waiheke.co.nz/ is island in the Hauraki Gulf (New Zealand). Its ferry terminal is 21.5 km (13.4 mi) from Auckland. There are many scenic beaches, including Onetangi Beach. In Onetangi (a Māori name meaning “weeping sands”), you can find sandcastle-building contests annually. You too have a few hours to build your creations in soft sand, with free barbecue and public facilities. With astonished views of the Hauraki Gulf, Te Whau Vineyard & Restaurant http://www.winesofnz.com/winery/te-whau-vineyard/ has the most stunning views on Waiheke Island. The small vineyard express the best of Waiheke. Here, as a child, a girl named Tusitala started to love poetry.

She represented Tuvalu in the Poetry Olympics in London 2012, and she was named the official Commonwealth poet in 2016. Her work has featured online and hard-copy literary journals and anthologies.
