Colorful Pohutukawa Trees decorate the coastal shores of a pristine cove, Maitai Bay on the Karikari Peninsula in Northland, NZ.

The coastal shores at Maitai Bay on the Karikari Peninsula in Northland, NZ are scattered with colorful Pohutukawa Trees from November to January. As the water fills the small, pristine cove, the appearance of the water changes to a light green coloring around the rockery, clearly displaying some of New Zealand's marine world.

As the sunlight shines off the flowers on the Pohutukawa Trees, the stamens are easy to see as they look like a mass of twinkling lights. Before the colorful flowers appear on the Pohutukawa Trees, also known as the "New Zealand Christmas Tree", the branches are filled with clusters of white buds ready to explode into full bloom.

The coastline of Maitai Bay in Northland, NZ is one of the most pristine regions on the North Island where tourists will find amazing scenery, tranquility and first class beaches.
