Whangamatā

Whangamatā is a beloved holiday hotspot on the Coromandel Peninsula, famous for its incredible surf breaks. Beyond the exhilarating waves, this vibrant town offers something for everyone, with calm, safe bays perfect for swimming and a sheltered harbour ideal for kayaking and fishing. When you're ready for a break from the water, explore the lush surrounds on one of the many local walks. Trek through verdant rainforests, discover peaceful streams and cascading waterfalls, and uncover fascinating remnants of the area's historic gold mining industry.
