Undoubtedly one the more famous of locations in the Coromandel area, Cathedral Cove is a picturesque beach paradise boasting some of the most beautiful coastal scenes you will find in New Zealand, and that's why its a must do Coromandel Photo location for when you visit.

Not only is it one of New Zealand's few marine reserves, it also forms part of a coast dotted with amazing sea stacks, crystal clear blue water, and it's more well known feature .. the Cave that acts as the entrance to the beach.

A short 1 hour hike (one way) from Hahei beach with incredible coastal views all the way, it is worth the walk to get to this famous little stretch of beach. Or you can take one of the local boat tours and experience it via the ocean.

PLEASE NOTE: You will need to park at the bottom of Grange Road and walk to the start of the track which is at the top of the road. If you park near the shops at the bottom of the road and then just follow the footpath all the way to the top (about 15-20 mins) you'll see the drop off zone at the top and the start of the track. Please don't walk down the track that is closed as it is hazardous and there was a recent fatality on that track.

You can also reach the main Mautohe Cathedral Cove walking track by taking the privately-owned Cathedral Cove Gateway Trail. This starts at a car park (paid parking) at 150 Lees Road, Hahei

Photography opportunities are endless at Cathedral Cove, with options for both sunrise and sunset with your wide angle lens. The Coromandel has some of the darkest skies in New Zealand, so astrophotography here is also amazing. If you like seascapes, then this is the place to come.
