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.
Mt Moehau is an incredible mountain located at the northern end of the Coromandel, in the range which extends from the settlement of Colville northwards to the tip of the peninsula.
