Golden Bay - Golden Bay / Mohua is a shallow, paraboloid-shaped bay in New Zealand - It is part of the Tasman Region, one of the territorial authorities of New Zealand - The bay was once a resting area for migrating whales and dolphins such as southern right whales and humpback whales, and pygmy blue whales may be observed off the bay as well - The west and northern regions of the bay are largely unpopulated. Along its southern coast are the towns of Tākaka and Collingwood, and the Abel Tasman National Park. Separation Point, the natural boundary between Golden and Tasman Bays, is in the park. North-eastern parts of Kahurangi National Park are in Golden Bay - Māori lived along the shores of Golden Bay from at least 1450, which is the earliest dated archaeological evidence (from carbon dating) yet found - Dutch explorer Abel Tasman anchored in this bay in 1642 - In 1770, during his first voyage, English explorer James Cook included the bay as part of Blind Bay, but upon his second voyage to the bay in 1773 realised that it was in fact the location of Murderers Bay. - The French explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville appears to have changed the name to Massacre Bay.
