Coromandel Peninsula was one the highlights of our sightseeing around New Zealand. The nature in New Zealand is amazing all around, but the Coromandel Peninsula might have the most beautiful scenery with clear sea coves and lush temperate rainforests.

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
The Coromandel Peninsula on the North Island of New Zealand extends 85 kilometres north from the western end of the Bay of Plenty, forming a natural barrier to protect the Hauraki Gulf and the Firth of Thames in the west from the Pacific Ocean to the east. #roadtrip #roadtripphotochallenge
