Secret Surf Beach!- Coromandel Peninsula. Google Earth FTW!

Google Earth brings you adventures and fun!

About the only thing that I cant spot on Google earth is a locked gate, so recently I sped off in my 'softroader' Mitsi Outlander to see if this track was passable and had a great day out on the Coromandel Peninsula

Beautiful beach however swimming is treacherous with rapid drop off, sand bars and powerful dumping waves that come in much quicker succession than other beaches in the area on the same day. Strong current as well. Two of our group needed help from others to get back to shore after swallowing water from waves. BE CAREFUL PLEASE!

Climb/track down is very challenging in the best conditions and you'll need to use your hands as well in a number of places. Any gear you want to take will need to be carried in a backpack rather than hand carried. Steep and narrow with lots of tree roots etc - if you have any mobility issues then give it a miss. Definitely wouldn't attempt in wet - a tumble off track would be serious/fatal. Takes about 10-15 to traverse.

Access for last 5km is via a dirt/gravel road that is very steep in a few places that may see non 4WD vehicles struggle.

All said its a stunning beach that is worth the effort of you are up to it.

Absolute heaven! I like the forest as much as the beach. I grew up in the pine forests of the Southeast US. It looks amazingly similar.

I really miss those types of NZ beaches Stewy! Mine you the NSW south coast beaches aint too shabby either, but yeah miss those NZ beaches such as Waipatiki beach with the left and right handers, mussels, paua and crayfish. Oh geez those were the days lol!

Wasn't that rabbit actually a hare? Although he looked a bit different to our European hares.
