On the sand
Matarangi Beach
Three kilometres of soft, swimmable white sand stretching toward the headland. Calm enough for kids, scenic enough for slow morning walks with a coffee in hand. Sunrise here is quietly extraordinary.
Explore Matarangi
The Coromandel,
unhurried.
A premium travel guide
Slow days, wide horizons.
Matarangi sits on a slender peninsula on the eastern coast of the Coromandel — half white-sand beach, half sheltered estuary. Time slows here. Pohutukawa-fringed coves, salt air, golden light.
