Cathedral Cove


Today we headed to Cathedral Cove on the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula - one of my favourite places in NZ. The cove is not accessible by road and involves a half hour undulating walk across stunning scenery - this is a view on route.




As we had set off quite early so as to beat the incoming high tide, the beach was pretty quiet and we had plenty of it to ourselves.





It also meant we were able to walk through the cove.






This is another view on the walk back showing the stunning colours of the water.






On the way back we stopped off at Stingray Bay, we didn't see any, but the bay itself was deserted and beautiful.






This is a view around the bay with a mini cave. Again, the photo shows the amazing blueness of the water.






Finally, we stopped at the look out back at the carpark for a view down to Hahei beach, a popular holiday destination for Kiwis.
