Visit the Tairua

🍔 Fuel Up Like a Local Gas Station Burger Joint: Greasy, glorious, and worth every calorie. Poke Bowl Food Truck (afternoons only): Fresh-caught fish + zesty marinades = ocean-to-bowl magic. Pro Tips:Stay: Book a beachfront Airbnb (wake up to sunrise over the estuary!). Timing: Visit weekdays to avoid weekend Aucklanders. Extend Your Trip: Pair with Hot Water Beach (low tide only!) or Cathedral Cove. Paku Scenic Lookout Park by the tiny marina, grab a sun-drenched bench, and watch boats bob. Retirement goals unlocked. A 30-min stair climb rewards you with 360° views: Tairua River snaking into the Pacific Twin volcanic peaks (yes, that’s "Paku" meaning "hill" in Māori!) #Tairua #Coromandel #NZHiddenGems #SlowTravel
