Proximity

Cooks Beach is one of a string of delightful sandy beaches on the Pacific Ocean coast of the Coromandel Peninsula.

Cooks Beach offers a 3-kilometre, gently curving white sand beach ideal for swimming, walking and sunbathing. This is a popular holiday destination for locals and a pleasant seaside settlement of holiday homes has established itself here over the years.

From the seaside town of Whitianga you can catch a ferry across the harbour mouth to the Stone Steps Wharf - the start of Cook's Coast. Alternatively, you can drive about 35 kilometres around the harbour.
