Otakawhe Bay forms the very south-eastern tip of Waiheke and is south of the wharf at [[Orapiu]]. Otakawhe Bay is in the [[Te Matuku Marine Reserve]] meaning that whilst recreational activities are allowed, disturbances to marine life such as fishing is not permitted. The bay faces the Tamaki Strait and looks south in the direction of Kawakawa Bay. The southern end of [[Ponui Island]], Pakahi Island and [[Passage Rock]] can be seen from the beach. A large yellow pole and marker light on the eastern tip of the bay indicate the edge of the marine reserve.

The only road access to Otakawhe Bay is via Nepean Avenue. It can also be reached by walking track from [[Orapiu Wharf]]. This track continues on to Pearl Bay. The beach is pebbly and is largely covered at high tide.

There are around 35 dwellings and 25 privately owned moorings in the bay. The most significant building is Otakawhe Lodge which is situated at the western end of the bay. The lodge was originally a holiday home for the Burt Family but was used for some years by the Auckland Hospital Board as a rehabilitation residence. The lodge is now available as accommodation for schools and other groups for recreational and educational use.

During 2008 and 2009, some disputes arose over encroachment of fence lines on to Nepean Avenue. These disputes have been extensively covered in the local press.

Otakawhe:

Orapiu, located at the eastern end of Waiheke Island, was first subdivided in 1916.
It's the largest settlement at the eastern end, has a wharf and is the starting point for the Waiheke Island [[Wharf to Wharf Fun Run]]. The famous Blue Heron Lodge, adjacent to the wharf, was closed this year (2008) and current plans include subdivision of the property.
The Orapiu Wharf has been repaired (Oct/Nov 2007). It is one stop on the [http://www.360discovery.co.nz/pdf/360_Coromandel_Discovery.pdf ferry run] between Auckland and Coromandel.
The wharf is also a popular fishing spot.
Not far from the wharf, in the middle of the [[Waiheke Channel]], is [[Sunday Rock]], a marked navigation hazard.
