Having passed both Gemstone Bay and Stingray bay, the path to Cathedral Bay enters an open space on the top of the cliffs. From here, as shown in this panorama, there is a good view not only of the ocean, but also of the surrounding undulating land.

Coastal Path to Cathedral Cove - Coromandel Peninsula visitor guide showing a virtual tour of 'Coastal Path to Cathedral Cove' linked to an interactive map with local and travel information. 360° panoramas from Waikato.

Cathedral Cove is part of the Te Whanganui-A-Hei marine reserve on the Coromandel Peninsula close to Hahei. This panorama shows part of the coastal path between Stingray Bay and Mare's Leg Cove where it passes over some hills and through a field. It is one of the few open parts of the path on the walk. From here the path descends again through trees to Mare's Leg Cove, from which you pass through a natural sea arch to Cathedral Cove itself. The path can clearly be seen on the satellite view of the Google map on high zoom.

Walk from the Cathedral Cove car park at the end of Grange Road near Hahei. Also accessible by sea kyak and boat.
