Discover the laid-back vibes on the Coromandel Peninsula, where pristine beaches meet misty forests. A natural hideaway offering an ideal place to escape and soak up a large collection of nature. Whanga (Whangamata) has a superb sandbank with good surfing, and along the coast, you will find many places that are ideal for swimming. New Chums Beach is a hidden gem, only accessible on foot or by boat.
On Hot Water Beach, between low and high tide, warm water from an underlying source rises through the sand. When you dig a hole in the sand, you can create your own thermal baths. Hike the Pinnacles, explore Cathedral Cove or spend your days on the glistening water - kayaking, sailing, snorkelling and fishing. A popular spot for locals, you will experience the quintessential Kiwi beach lifestyle. Enjoy live music and have a boogie at Coroglen Tavern.
