Coromandel is a peninsula just east of Auckland. In the center of the peninsula there is a mountain range that has a few nice trails. We spent one day hiking the Pinnacle which was a very nice trail. The last part up to the top included some climbing which always makes us happy. The views were also excellent.
Otherwise Coromandel is mostly known for its wonderful beaches including Hot water beach. Hot water beach is named after the thermal water surfacing at the beach. At low tide you simply dig a hole which fills with hot water and you have made yourself you own private spa. Unfortunately we do not have pictures of this because we did not want to get the camera wet. It looks quite amusing though with lots of people sitting in holes in the sand.
The weather was not very stable when we were at Coromandel but we managed to take advantage of the good moments which you can see in the images.
