Paved Surface

The cross-peninsula road from Tairua on the east coast to Whitianga, winding through bush and over the Coromandel ranges.

SeasonOctober to April

A road that climbs and bends through native bush between two beach towns, with a good run of corners in the middle.

It is a main route in summer, so holiday traffic can be heavy and slow. Early starts help.

There is fuel and food at both ends.
