Onerahi, for half a century known as Grahamtown, is a seaside suburb of Whangārei, New Zealand's northernmost city. It is the city's only seaside suburb.[3] It is located 9 km south-east of the centre of Whangārei and is principally a peninsula in the Whangārei Harbour, which empties into the Pacific Ocean.
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "long beach" for Onerahi.[4]
The suburb's main feature is Whangarei Airport, located on the large flat area at the southern end of the suburb, which was built up using material from the site of a former Māori pā (fortress) just to the north.
There are two concentric roads around the seaward plateau; the upper one surrounds the airport, and the lower follows the coast.[5]
The suburb is connected to Whangarei via the Onerahi Causeway.
Close to the suburb in the harbour is Motu Matakohe or Limestone Island, now being managed to restore its ecosystems. Public transport in Onerahi solely consists of bus services, the suburb is serviced by Citylink route 2 bus via Riverside Drive to Whangarei City.
