W1Vorlage: Infobox Island / Maintenance / height missing

Rabbit Iceland ( German " Rabbit Island" ) is located in the southern part of the Tasman Bay on the north side of the South Island of New Zealand. The long, narrow island stretches over a length of 8 km in the east-west direction and 15 km ². It lies opposite the mouth of the Waimea River, seven kilometers west of Richmond.

The island is a resort for the inhabitants of Motueka, Mapua, Wakefield, Brightwater, Richmond, Nelson and Stoke. A bridge spans the tidal area between the island and mainland. After the bridge, there is a larger grassy area, then start the beaches. The island consists largely of large sand dunes, overgrown with pines, whose roots are exposed by the migration of the dunes.
