Situated on the majestic Mercury Bay, the tiny settlement of Hahei Beach becomes a bustling tourist town in the summer months. Its 350 permanent residents will welcome you to their town, ready to show you their beautiful pink-shell beach, the protected marine reserve and the pods of dolphins that live off shore. Enjoy a round of golf, browse for souvenirs at local gift shops and enjoy a pint at a local craft brewery as you indulge in the offerings of the Coromandel Peninsula. Located near Whitianga and the world famous Hot Water Beach, Hahei Beach is an ideal place to base yourself as you explore the region. Take a morning stroll along the coastline to reach Hot Water Beach and see why thousands of visitors come to the stretch of sand each year. The geothermic activity beneath the sand heats up the ocean water and the temperatures are ideal for bathing along the shore. Dig yourself a hole in the sand to experience your own private hot spring. Embark on a guided kayak tour from Hahei Beach. Find tour operators in town. Explore the protected marine reserve that surrounds Hahei Beach as you keep watch for pods of dolphins. Capture photographs as the dolphins play in the shallow water. Make the journey to the stunning Cathedral Cove, accessible only by boat, to see one of the highlights of the area. Back on shore, lay out a towel on the pink sand of Hahei Beach. The beach is made of millions of light pink shells, which make for beautiful photographs. Hahei Beach is located about 14 kilometres (9 miles) east of Whitianga and can be reached by car, ferry or a pleasant coastal walk. There is plenty of accommodation in Hahei Beach but note that if you are visiting in peak periods, book in advance as the region becomes busy, especially during the Christmas holiday season. ## Plan a trip to see Hahei Beach Price found within the past 48 hours.
