Coromandel
Peninsula
By: Priyanka
Coromandel
 The Coromandel Peninsula lies in
 the North Island of New Zealand. It is part
 of the Waikato Region and Thames-
 Coromandel District and extends
 85 kilometres north from the western end
 of the Bay of Plenty, forming a natural
 barrier to protect the Hauraki Gulf and
 the Firth of Thames in the west from
 the Pacific Ocean to the east. At its
 broadest point, it is 40 kilometres wide.
Geography
 The peninsula is very steep and is largely
 covered in rain forest. The Coromandel
 Range forms a spine for the peninsula
 rising to nearly 900 metres, and the large
 island of Great Barrier, which lies beyond
 the northern tip, can be thought of as an
 extension of the range. Great Barrier is
 separated from Cape Colville on the
 peninsula's northern coast by the Colville
 Channel.
People
 Only  five towns on the peninsula have
 populations of over 1000
 (Coromandel, Whitianga, Thames, Tairua,
 and Whangamata), and of these only
 Thames has a population of over 5000.
 Several small towns dot the coast of
 the Firth of Thames in the southwest. Other
 small towns on the peninsula include
 Matarangi, Whangapoua, Whiritoa, Hikuai
 , Tairua, Pauanui and Colville.
