Cathedral Cove

Cathedral Cove Walk

Located at Hahei on the Coromandel peninsula, Cathedral Cove is one of the “must visit” sites on the Coromandel. It's a very popular tourist destination so visit at sunrise or early evening if you want to avoid the crowds.

But first it is important to know that the car park at the start of the track is closed, it's now only a drop-off zone, but you have a few other options to consider:

1) free parking is available at the entrance to the village instead, from there walk via the beach to the start of the walk, or

2) Use the park and ride shuttle bus available from the free parking area (It costs $5 return per person, $3 for a child and $10 for a family (2 adults 2 children)
For more up to date rates please visit: https://www.thecoromandel.com/activit...) or

3) Use the water taxi service that runs from Hahei beach which is $15 per person per trip

4) Or pay a local who offers parking on their property, this might vary but we paid $10, we found this quite convenient and close to the start of the track.

Cathedral Cove is accessible only by foot, boat or kayak, and is considered one of best short walks you can do, it offers stunning views of the Coromandel coast and takes you past dramatic cliff formations to where it ends at the iconic rock archway of Cathedral Cove.

Along the way you have 2 other side tracks which is well worth the visit, The first one is Gemstone bay which offers excellent snorkeling.

Next up is Stingray bay, this must be one of the most beautiful beaches on the Coromandel! white sand, dramatic white cliffs and turquoise water.

From here is the last stretch to Cathedral Cove, the whole track is well graded but has some really long and steep hill sections.
