Coromandel Information
Coromandel is the name of a town and harbour on the western side of the Coromandel Peninsula, which is on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand. They are 75 kilometres east of the city of Auckland, although the road between them, which winds around the Firth of Thames and Hauraki Gulf coasts, is 190 km long.
Coromandel Harbour is a wide bay on the Hauraki Gulf guarded by several islands, of which the largest is Whanganui Island.
The town and environs are a popular summer holiday destination for New Zealanders. Coromandel is noted for its artists, crafts, alternative lifestylers, mussel farming, and recreational fishing. Population (2003 estimate) is 1,620.
Coromandel is noted for its beautiful beaches, with backdrops of lush native bush in the hills. The gateway to the Coromandel, the Kopu bridge, is a wonderful one way bridge that is just 110 kms from Auckland. From this bridge you can go in a loop around the entire Coromandel peninsular. All roads lead to Coromandel Town at some point.
