About a 30 minute drive from Coromandel Town ( 3 hours from Auckland). Beautiful beach on the Coromandel peninsula east coast. There is a view point up quite a steep and difficult climb (trainers recommended not jandels/flip flops) which is where I took this photo from. We camped at the Whangapoua Holiday Park about 10 mins drive away. To access New Chums beach you have to walk north from main Whangapoua beach along the coast there, well trodden though so easy to find your way and only 15 mins.
