Coromandel region - New Zealand

COROMANDEL REGION - NEW ZEALAND The Coromandel Peninsula lies east of Auckland , on the other side of the Hauraki Gulf, and has an estimated population of just under 27,000 people in the combined Thames and Coromandel Districts. Rustic, relaxed and unspoiled, the Coromandel is one of New Zealand 's best-loved holiday destinations. The rugged volcanic hills are cloaked in native rainforest, and more than 400 kilometres of spectacular coastline promises you can find the beach of your dreams. The Coromandel is a place where bush and beach are both easily accessible. In the same day, you can experience the blue dazzle of the Pacific Ocean and calming greenness of the kauri forest.
