Best Quiet Beaches in Coromandel
The Coromandel Peninsula's secluded coves and sea-arch beaches deliver peaceful escapes surrounded by lush bush, volcanic sea stacks, and crystalline waters far from the crowds.
Cathedral Cove
New Zealand's most iconic sea arch frames a pristine white-sand cove accessible only by boat or a 45-minute bush walk — the rewarding isolation makes it one of the Pacific's most tranquil escapes.
Hot Water Beach
Geothermal springs bubble up through the sand at this remarkable beach, where visitors dig their own hot pools — a uniquely relaxed atmosphere that draws few crowds outside peak summer weekends.
