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!
Many homes in Coromandel Town and the surrounding area have a Tony Calsaferri on their wall. After 24 years of painting, Tony’s work has found its place, with him completing 100 paintings annually.
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.
My French friends, Jacques and Marie and their two young children, who participated in the cricket match mentioned in Part 1, eventually left Aotearoa bound for New Caledonia where they stayed for some months before heading to Fiji. They invited me to join them to sail with them to Vanuatu, so I flew to Nadi and boarded their 40-foot yacht.
