Poikeke Island is an island off the coast of the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand.
The island is located approximately 900 metres north-east of Cathedral Cove, to the east of Mercury Bay. It is tidally linked to Motueka Island (Pigeon Island), a larger island located to the east.[1] Poikeke and Motueka islands are remnants of an eroded Miocene era lava dome, composed of flow-banded rhyolite.[1]
