About Coromandel Peninsula
The Coromandel Peninsula, a couple of hours from Auckland, offers a rugged coastline of native bush-covered hills dropping to golden beaches. At Hot Water Beach, visitors dig their own spa pool in the sand at low tide as geothermal water bubbles up, while nearby Cathedral Cove's giant rock archway frames one of New Zealand's most photographed beaches.
