Over on the Coromandel Peninsula, New Chums Beach is another of the best beaches in New Zealand. Lots of nice hiking trails can be found in the local area around this beach, making it a fun spot for nature lovers and active people who like to move around and explore. The beach itself shimmers and glimmers in the sun, with golden sands and frothy waves washing up on the shore. The beach is surrounded by lush vegetation, making it even more magical, and it's a prime spot for couples or newly-weds to stroll along in each other's company. Since this beach is a little off the beaten track, it never gets overly busy either, so it’s a great spot for people in need of some peace and quiet.
