Māpua Wharf sits at the mouth of the Waimea Estuary in the Tasman region of New Zealand's South Island, roughly 30 minutes from Nelson and 15 minutes from Motueka via the Coastal Highway.

According to Tasman District Council, a boat ramp is located here at the wharf, making it a convenient launch point for boaters exploring the estuary and surrounding waters.

Beyond the boat ramp, the wharf is a lively destination in its own right, with restaurants, cafés, galleries, and shops showcasing local artisans. In summer, wharf jumping and riding the tidal currents are popular pastimes.
