The East Coast of the North Island contains the East Cape and Hawkes Bay.
The East Cape is the first part of New Zealand that a European set foot on but remains one of the most isolated areas of the North Island today. The Cape (as it is affectionately known) in the north, is a scenic and rugged area which experiences the hottest summers in the North Island. This area of New Zealand has many beaches and is the home of the biggest national park in the North Island the Urewera National Park.
 
 

Gisborne is the biggest town on the Cape and the first city in the world to see the new day.
 In fact Gisborne will be a very popular place to be on the dawn of the new millenium as it will be the first place in the world to see the light of the first day in the year 2000 and the city is preparing itself for the expected huge influx of tourists.
