Cathedral Cove

The Cathedral Cove rock arch is possibly the most visited feature in Coromandel. Following cyclone damage to the walking track, the only access to Cathedral Cove is via water taxi, boat, or kayak. The coastline is stunning viewed from the water, with sea caves, rock formations, and blow holes. The water at the cove is usually calm and clear, so it's good for swimming and snorkeling. The Cathedral Cove Water Taxi buzzes from Hahei Beach to Cathedral Cove in a few minutes. Or you could paddle there with Cathedral Cove Kayaks. A good plan is to visit outside peak summer holiday season, January in particular.
