Probably New Zealand's most famous beach! Gobsmackingly stunning but VERY busy in summer. You must park at the carpark in Hahei and pay for the shuttle to the walking point. (30 mins each way from there)

Further Information: Te Whanganui-A-Hei (Cathedral Cove) Marine Reserve is a beautiful 840ha area situated along the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand. This stunning natural archway and beach are host to a range of marine life such as stingray and many different fish species, making it quite a popular attraction for tourists. Boasting over 150,000 visitors annually, this gorgeous spot is sure to make you fall in love with it's beauty. It's no wonder that this destination has served as both the entrance way to Narnia in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, and the set to Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s music video “Can’t Hold Us.” Enjoy an adventure at Te Whanganui-A-Hei (Cathedral Cove) Marine Reserve!
