Best Snorkeling Beach in Coromandel

Cathedral Cove's protected cove and clear Hauraki Gulf waters make it Coromandel's top snorkeling destination, where underwater rock formations shelter snapper, crayfish, and a rich variety of temperate marine life.

Cathedral Cove

The sheltered waters around Cathedral Cove's famous sea arch are excellent for snorkeling, with underwater volcanic rock formations hosting snapper, kina (sea urchins), crayfish, and colourful reef fish. Visibility is frequently excellent during calm summer conditions, with guided snorkel tours and kayak-snorkel combo trips available from Hahei.
