Pacific Ocean

You'll discover a hidden gem in the Thames-Coromandel District where coastal access meets off-road adventure. This short 0.7 km trail offers 4WD enthusiasts a unique opportunity to explore rugged terrain while enjoying proximity to the Pacific Ocean's dramatic coastline. The relatively flat grade of 0% makes this an accessible option for drivers of varying experience levels, though don't let the modest distance fool you—the terrain presents its own character and challenges worth experiencing.

The drive takes you through native bush and coastal landscape that exemplifies New Zealand's raw natural beauty. You'll encounter variable ground conditions typical of lesser-traveled tracks in this region, so approach with appropriate caution and respect for the environment. While the completion time is minimal, the real value lies in the sense of discovery—accessing areas most casual visitors never reach. Make sure your vehicle is equipped with proper recovery gear, and check local conditions before heading out, as coastal weather can change rapidly and impact track conditions.

This trail remains unrated and untracked by other Newtracs users, making it a genuine exploration opportunity for adventurous 4WD drivers willing to venture into genuinely remote territory near Thames-Coromandel.
