“Walk or mountain bike between Fletcher Bay and Stony Bay.”
The remote northern part of The Coromandel is home to the spectacular Coromandel Coastal Walkway. The trip starts with a drive up the western coast, past the last outpost of Colville, where the store is a quirky landmark. The road becomes a gravel ribbon along the rocky shoreline, ducking under giant ancient Pohutukawa tress, passing an old granite wharf, then mounting the western flanks of Mount Moehau to reach the northern bays, and finally Fletcher Bay, one of the starting points for the walk. Sacred Moehau is often shrouded in mist, hiding the burial place of many chiefs, including Tamatekapua of Te Arawa and sheltering the rare and endangered tiny Archey’s frog. Alternatively you can head inland across Port Charles Road through the settlements of Port Charles before arriving at Stony Bay.
