Whangamatā

Whangamatā lies between the Pacific Ocean and Whangamatā Harbour on the Coromandel Peninsula in Waikato, a setting that has shaped the town around surf, sandy shores and sheltered water. Its long ocean beach is a focal point for swimming and board sports, while the harbour supports boating and fishing. Offshore, Whenuakura Island, widely called Donut Island, is known for the small lagoon enclosed within its rocky form. Each November, the Beach Hop festival brings classic cars and rock-and-roll culture to the streets, adding a lively annual chapter to the town’s coastal character.
