The Coromandel is known for its scenic beauty. It is a much sought after holiday destination for New Zealanders and international visitors alike due to its relaxed lifestyle and sparsely populated beach and bush areas.
The golden sand beaches of the east coast are complemented by the lush green forested hills of the interior. There are gold mines and even richer veins of history and culture. The east coast of the Coromandel is a 2 1⁄2 hour drive from both Auckland and Rotorua, there are also daily flights to Whitianga, Pauanui and Matarangi, as well as regular coach services from Auckland.
