Tairua

Tairua is a small seaside resort and fishing village with a delightful harbour linked by two sandy white beaches. A headland island named Paku, which is joined by a sand dune, stands at the harbour heads. The ocean lies to the east , the mountains of the Coromandel to the west and dozens of idyllic white sandy beaches to the north and south.

Tairua is a leisurely 2 hour drive from Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua, or Tauranga on sealed and scenic highways. From Tairua visitors can explore the coastline north and south, to the many beaches and hidden coves that make the Coromandel Peninsula so unique, from native bush trails through Kauri and Fern forests, to boat charters to the nearby islands.
