Location of Te Waewae Bay

Te Waewae Bay is the westernmost of three large bays lying on the Foveaux Strait coast of Southland, New Zealand, the others being Oreti Beach and Toetoes Bay. Twenty-seven kilometres in length, the western end of the bay is mountainous, with the southern terminus of the Southern Alps and Fiordland National Park.

The town of Tuatapere is located seven kilometres north of the bay, on the banks of the Waiau River, which has its outflow in the bay.
