Maketū is one of the most significant coastal sites in the Bay of Plenty, the landing place of the Te Arawa canoe and a founding settlement of the Te Arawa people, marked today by a cairn above the estuary. From the 1830s it grew as a trading port under Phillip Tapsell, exporting dressed flax before the trade moved on. Now a quiet seaside village on its sandspit and estuary, it is known for its pies, its surf and its deep history.
