Matarangi & Whangapoua

Lying halfway between Whitianga and Coromandel town on the picturesque Pacific Coast Highway, Matarangi is a scenic 2.5 hours drive from Auckland, Hamilton or Tauranga. A fully serviced housing resort, Matarangi is the secluded sand spit that forms the northern edge of the Whangapoua Harbour.

Whangapoua has a good surf beach and a large harbour. Just north of Whangapoua beach, a pleasant 30 minute walk brings you to the secluded New Chums beach. Opera Point, just south of Whangapoua, preserves an ancient pa and a 19th century sawmill site.
