We Explored Coromandel’s Best Beaches… Is Cathedral Cove Worth It? | New Zealand Road Trip Ep.16

Welcome back! This week we begin our travels in Whitianga and start exploring the beautiful eastern coastline of the Coromandel Peninsula. We start with a visit to Opito Bay before hiking into New Chums Beach, one of the most untouched and beautiful beaches in the region. From there, we make our way south toward Hahei, setting up camp at the Hot Water Beach Lookout POP camp. We spend time bathing in the hot pools at the famous Hot Water Beach, exploring Hahei Beach and searching for a secret cove along the headland before finishing the episode with a visit to the iconic Cathedral Cove. 📍 Where we wandered: Opito Bay New Chums Beach Hot Water Beach Hahei Beach Cathedral Cove ⛺ Where we camped: NZMCA Whitianga Hot Water Beach Lookout POP Catch you on the next one, Luke, Jess, Ocie + Rumi #NewZealandroadtrip #NewZealandTravel #VanlifeNZ #Coromandel #CathedralCove Want to support us?
