Cape Kidnappers is a headland at the southeastern extremity of Hawke Bay on the east coast of New Zealand 's North Island . It is located 20 kilometres southeast of the city of Napier . The promontory sits at the end of an eight kilometre long peninsula which protrudes into the Pacific Ocean . It was named after an attempt by local Māori to abduct one of the crew of Capt. James Cook 's ship '' Endeavour '' in 1769 . The Cape is the site of a large Gannet colony. A world famous Golf course is also located here. |
