Whangamata
New Zealand
A pocket-sized beach town on the southeast coast of the Coromandel Peninsula with two ocean beaches safe for swimming and surfing, a harbour, and a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size. Offshore, Whenuakura — sometimes called Donut Island — features a collapsed blowhole that has formed a modest internal beach, while the closer Hauturu (Clark Island) is reachable on foot at low tide. The town's population surges dramatically over New Year.
