New Chums Beach is a stunning and secluded Coromandel beach located near Whangapoua. Voted one of the worlds top 10 beaches, it is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches on the planet, and for good reason. Golden sand beaches, native bush, red flowering Pohutukawa trees in the summer and turquoise blue water where dolphins can be seen playing in the waves all year round .. New Chums Beach truly is one of the best Coromandel beaches on offer.

New Chums Beach is only accessible on foot, via a 30 minute walk over rocks and boulders, and then through native bush to reach the beach, adding to its charm and seclusion. The walk itself is an experience in its own right, with beautiful scenery and a diverse range of flora and fauna to admire along the way.

For photography, around the halfway point along the track to New Chums Beach, there is a track leading up to Motuto Point which is a magical spot at sunset and sunrise. It looks over the coast from above and gives a stunning perspective of the beach. However, this track is not for the faint hearted as it is very steep and requires a lot of climbing, even for such a short track. Do this at your own risk.
