hahei beach walk

This is a walk to the Cathedral Cove Car Park - offers amazing views back to Hahei beach. A bit of a climb, but not too far.

The walk is great...down hill is fantastic... Coming up was hard.. But very good to do. The scenery was fantastic the views were great. Totally enjoyed the walk

Beautiful beach, warm swimming. Great views of southern pacific ad inland islands. Kayaking looked good and popular. We just flopped and soaked up the sun,

One of the best beaches on the Coromandel - but visit outside of school holidays otherwise I think would be noisy with jet boats, jet skis etc.

Lovely beach, and a nice spot to visit. Not a lot of accommodation though (we had to stay in Whitianga), so book early. If you love beaches then it is worth a visit.

It was a busy weekend as they have a noisy car race there each year and it was a long weekend as it's a national holiday in NZ. However, the beach was lovely. We did not go to Cathedral cove this time as too many people go there now and its being damaged. Like a lot of beautiful places sometimes it is fragile. My advice is respect this beautiful place if you wish your children to enjoy it.

We stayed in a bach over Christmas during our New Zealand tour. It had an incredible view of the beach and was also very close to the start of the Cathedral Cove walk. The beach is lovely - safe, sandy and has some beautiful red Pohutukawa trees on the shoreline.We walked to the pa site on the Eastern headland of Hahei beach and the next day did the hike to Cathedral Cove, which was lovely despite Christmas crowds. The white sand and white cliffs and arches (esp in sunshine) make Coromandel one of the nicest beach areas in North island, in my opinion.

Hahei beach is stunning. It is just like being in Fiji on a fine sunny day. Cant wait to get back down there once we leave.

Great place to sit and eat my fish and chip supper, followed by a paddle in the sea. Lovely clean beach and pretty quiet when I was there at sunrise and sunset.

A beautiful quiet beach white sands and a great walk over to Cathedral Cove if you're feeling energetic!

Difficult on a hot day, take loads of sunscreen but an interesting walk with the chance to see seabirds. Hahei beach is lovely with a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere

Very nice and shallow beach. Loved it and spent a lot of time there.Must visit. Good for swimming and general relaxation.

This is a expansive beach in downtown Hahei. There's plenty of room and the views of the off shore islands and cliffs are what most people would be looking for. This is a popular spot, especially during the holiday season.

Loved this place, only thing is that I wanted the beach all to myself. (Heaps of people while I was there) other than that AWESOME

Stayed a literal stone's throw from this great beach. We walked it, sat it, dozed on it, and swam from it. Islands, kayaks, swimmers, surfers, gulls, oystercatchers... so much to gaze at. Beautiful skies. We want more!
