Halfmoon Bay (Stewart Island)
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Halfmoon Bay lies on the eastern coast of Stewart Island/Rakiura in New Zealand.
The town of Oban lies in the bay. A small fishing fleet and a ferry service from Bluff use the bay.
The gardens of Moturau Moana built by Isabel Noeline Baker, are New Zealand's southernmost public gardens.[1]
Halfmoon Bay and its neighbour Horseshoe Bay are the subject of a name mix-up, caused by early cartographers. Halfmoon Bay is in fact shaped more like a horseshoe, whereas Horseshoe Bay is shaped like a half moon.
