With our beach wear on and the sun out (in DECEMBER!), we were ready for a day touring the white beaches of the Coromandel.
First stop - the bizarre Hot Water Beach, where with a spade you could dig a pool of hot (in some places scalding!) water and bathe in the warm water.
Our next was Hahei beach, with its pink sand and calm shelter from Mahurangi Island.
After a 45 minute walk we reached the hidden Cathedral Cove. Stepping through the huge rock arch we arrived onto this blissful retreat.
Last but most certainly not least, we drove up to Whangapoua beach, which had the softest white sand I'd ever come across. Sadly with the tide high and time short we didn't make it over the bay to New Chums Beach (one of the top 20 beaches in the world)...so we'll just HAVE to come back again to NZ!
