Waiotahe
Waiotahe (for a time, Waiotahi) is a beach, settlement and rural community in the Ōpōtiki District and Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island, near the mouth and lowermost stretch of the Waiotahe River.

It includes a beach that attracts swimmers, surfers and anglers during the summer months, and river mouths that people fish from year-round. The beach is more dangerous during low tide due to stronger rips, but has natural hazards in all conditions.

Ōpōtiki District Council has banned vehicles from the mudflats of the Waiotahe estuary and a section of Waiotahe Beach. The council allows vehicles at other beaches, unlike most other New Zealand councils.

The town's official name reverted from "Waiotahi" back to the original Māori name "Waiotahe" in August 2015, following a decision by Land Information Minister Louise Upston, upheld by the New Zealand Geographic Board.
