We love our beaches here in the Coromandel! Our coasts are home to a special mix of native plants and animals that are found nowhere else in the world!
The journey to a more sustainable future begins with small, everyday actions. During the 2024 Whitianga Cleanup Day, plastic water bottles were the most prevalent item collected.
Tucked along the south coast of Hahei lies one of the Coromandel’s secret gems. Running from Great Barrier Island through the peninsula to the Kaimai Range, the Coromandel Ranges are the remnants of ancient volcanoes – a landscape quite literally born of fire. Over 18 million years, this dynamic landscape has evolved into a series of secret caves, archways and hidden bays shaped by the relentless force of the ocean.
The stunning sandy beaches of the Coromandel Peninsula are not just a playground for people; they are essential habitats for native shorebirds including tūturiwhatu / dotterel, tōrea pango / variable oystercatcher, tarāpunga / red-billed gulls, tarāpuka / black-billed gulls, and tara / terns.
From Moehau at the tip of the Coromandel Peninsula to Te Aroha in the south, diverse ecosystems are home to a wide variety of wildlife, including many native, threatened and at-risk species.
