INTRODUCING WHANGAMATA

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.

Sea conditions suitable for all are available along the beaches 6km length, or in the safe estuaries that lie at each end of the beach. These lead out to a section of the Pacific Ocean popular for big game and recreational fishing.

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.
