Wainuiototo Bay also known as, New Chums Beach, has been notably described as being one of the best beaches in Coromandel, and all of New Zealand. However, unlike other beaches that have been known as one of the best beaches, it still has a “small-beach” vibe. It takes a half-hour walk from the nearest town of Whangapoua, but the walk is well worth it for the sheer beauty of the place.
