Coromandel Coastal Walkway (Fletcher Bay)
Fletcher Bay
The Coromandel Coastal Walkway at the northernmost tip of the peninsula, from Fletcher Bay to Stony Bay. Cliffs, pastures and bays alternate, making it the most untouched stretch of coast on the peninsula.
The walk is about 10 km one way (roughly 3 to 3.5 hours), connecting Fletcher Bay at the north end with Stony Bay. Both ends have DOC campsites. Along the way it passes grassy sea cliffs, with views of Great Barrier Island and Little Barrier Island in the distance. You usually need to arrange a pick-up or return the same way, though you can also ride a mountain bike along the inland route. From Coromandel town to Fletcher Bay is about 1.5 hours on gravel road, with no petrol stations along the way, so fill up your tank beforehand.
