Whiritoa Tides
A hidden Coromandel beach between Whangamatā and Waihī Beach, Whiritoa is a locals' favourite with a powerful shore break and consistent swell. Its tides are shaped by the same Pacific rhythms as its neighbours, but the steep, dark sand creates a different, more dramatic tide experience.
