A small community and sheltered bay on the east side of the peninsula, a long and winding gravel drive from Coromandel. Not many travellers get this far, which is the draw: sandy shore, quiet water and some of the least-visited coastline on the peninsula.

- No facilities, bring food and water
- Respect the local community and private land
- Best time
- Dry day, mid-week
- Getting there
- Gravel road from Coromandel Town, narrow and winding
- Vehicles
- Fine in any car
