Mills Bay at Mangonui is a small, sheltered bay within Doubtless Bay at the northern end of New Zealand. The area has a history with whaling and is still closely linked to the sea. Today there is still an active fisheries industry here and, for tourists, a well known and popular Fish and Chips restaurant. The area is popular for sailing and boating, and the village is full of old historic buildings.

Mangonui is also popular as a base from which to explore the Aupouri Peninsula and the drive to Cape Reinga. Just north of Mangonui is Rangikapiti Pa, a Maori hill fort with stunning panoramic views of the region. Also nearby are both Cable Bay and Taipa Beach.

Mangonui is on Highway 10 about 310km north of Auckland. It is 80km north of Paihia and the Bay of Islands.
