Coast: Coromandel Peninsula

The Coromandel Peninsula is a paradisiacal destination characterized by its dramatic hills covered with dense native jungle and more than 400 kilometers of coastline with deserted beaches of white and golden sand. Located just a short drive from Auckland, this region is highlighted by unique natural wonders such as Cathedral Cove, a gigantic limestone tunnel connecting two turquoise bays, and Hot Water Beach, where visitors can dig their own hot spring pools in the sand at low tide.
