State Highway 11 (New Zealand)

State Highway 11 (SH 11) is a New Zealand state highway in the Northland region connecting Kawakawa to the Bay of Islands. It is a two-lane single carriageway for its entire length.

The highway begins at a junction with State Highway 1 (SH 1) at Kawakawa. From there, it travels northeast, passing through or near the towns of Paihia, Opua, and Russell. SH 11 provides access to popular tourist destinations within the Bay of Islands, known for its beaches, boating, and historical sites.

The road traverses hilly terrain and includes sections with winding roads and limited passing opportunities. It is a key transportation route for both local residents and tourists visiting the Bay of Islands area. Maintenance and upgrades are occasionally undertaken to improve safety and road conditions. The highway's importance lies in its function as the primary access route to the eastern Bay of Islands communities and its contribution to the region's tourism economy.
