Thames-Coromandel District

Waikato

I came across this incredible area after driving 2 hours down the West Coast of the Coromandel Peninsula. A breath taking place to watch the sun melt away and skimboard. Lots of trails to lose yourself in the natural beauty and whistle with the birds. At the end of the day you can camp by the sea and listen to the gentle waves as they drift you to sleep. #SpringFun

Sunset along Colville Road driving north of Coromandel Town.
Cathedral Cove I highly recommend both the kayak tour and the walk from Hahei beach.
We came across this amazing view while driving on the main road along the Coromandel Peninsula.
