Cathedral Cove Arch Closed - Update for Travellers

10 December 2011

The DOC website advises:

"The Cathedral Cove arch is closed as the arch is a known rock fall hazard. Visitors need to also be aware that the area surrounding the arch and other cliff faces in the area are subject to rockfalls"

The Coromandel Peninsula is a relatively unspoilt region in the North Island of New Zealand just a short drive from Auckland, and one of New Zealand’s most popular holiday destinations.

Renowned for its rugged landscape, bush and spectacular coastline, the Coromandel region offers many opportunities for walkers with a range of tracks from short coastal walks to multi day hikes. Marine activities abound including sea kayaking, fishing, boating, surfing and just enjoying the white, sandy beaches.

The Coromandel Peninsula also has a rich tradition of arts and crafts with many artists studios and a fascinating history with relics of gold mining & logging and preserved historical buildings.

The Pacific Coast Highway touring route links the Coromandel region with Auckland and Bay of Plenty.
