WHANGAMATA      Cool
Whangamata, recognised as being one of the most popular beach resorts in New Zealand.  The crowds that throng the spectacular white sandy beaches over the summer months tell us that!

The fantastic beach at Whangamata not only offers safe swimming, but also some of the best surfing breaks in New Zealand too.

The Coromandel Forest Park and Tairua Forest bordering the town provides many outdoor experiences including short walks, mountain bike trails, exploring old gold mining sites and pig hunting.  Short trails from forestry roads lead to isolated beaches away from civilisation.

An application for consent to remove about 30 hectares of mangroves from Whangamata Harbour will be lodged this month.
