Beach

Message from Rach Stewart

Whangapoua Beach is a stunning spot on the Coromandel Peninsula, known for its pristine white sand and crystal-clear waters. It's a great place to chill out, catch some rays, and take a dip in the ocean. Plus, if you're up for a little adventure, you can explore nearby Opera Point for some shady relaxation or head over to New Chums Beach for a more secluded vibe. Overall, Whangapoua Beach is the perfect place to unwind and soak up some Kiwi beach vibes.

If you're planning to head over to New Chums Beach, just drive right to the end of Mangakahia Road where the New Chums Carpark is. You can access Whangapoua Beach from here also and chill out before taking the quick walk over the hill.

For photography I am yet to photograph Whangapoua Beach at sunrise or sunset but sunrise would be the better option with it rising on the east and showering the beach in golden light. Take your wide angle lens (16-35mm) with you for this spot.
