The Coromandel is a renowned outdoor haven where rugged terrain meets idyllic coastline. These natural features provide inspiration for the creative works and unique attractions hidden around every corner. The laid back culture, locally known as ‘Coromandel time’, encourages a relaxed atmosphere that is better understood once experienced.

Fabulous golden and white sand beaches with magnificent coastal scenery, a rugged forest cloaked interior waiting to be explored, are just some of the natural attractions that have people returning to The Coromandel time after time.

As a walkers paradise with a range of trails to explore, from short coastal walkways to multi day treks, the region will delight you at every turn.

Go for a swim, take a launch or fishing trip, sea kayak, be fascinated by the amazing seascapes of our marine reserves, visit an artists studio or reflect in the Mercury Bay Museum on the heritage of a region first discovered by the two great navigators, Kupe and Cook.

A three day road trip will allow enough time to see why The Coromandel is where kiwi’s holiday. Plan for longer if you want to enjoy as the locals do.
