Pauanui Beach

Pauanui Beach and the surrounding coastline offer some of the best fishing conditions in New Zealand. Success is found fishing off the beach, off the rocks or boating off the coast and around the frequent islands close to the beach.

Spectacular fishing is at the doorstep with Shoe and Slipper Islands within a couple of short miles of the harbour entrance and provide fun safe fishing year round for both the family and the seasoned serious angler. The Alderman Islands area is within 11 miles of the coast and provides challenging populations of fish species whilst the big game pelegics flow in and around this area from around late December. World class diving is avalible in countless spots nearby and spearfishing also has a reputable name out of Tairua.

With around 400km's of coastline and over 100 offshore islands, The Coromandel is one of New Zealand's favourite marine playgrounds ... see the Coromandel Fishing Tips on the Tourism Coromandel website.
