Coromandel Peninsula East Coast, Waikato, New Zealand - Large

🌿 Coromandel Peninsula Wooden Ocean Depth Map – A Handcrafted Tribute to One of NZ’s Most Loved Coastlines

This detailed wooden map focuses on the spectacular upper east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula — a region known for its golden beaches, marine life, and offshore islands steeped in natural and cultural significance. From the pristine sands of New Chums Beach and the rugged cliffs of Kennedy Bay, to the tranquil shores of Opito and Otama, this handcrafted map brings one of Aotearoa’s favourite summer destinations to life in stunning layered relief.

Just offshore, the Mercury Islands dominate the horizon. Great Mercury (Ahuahu) — long believed to be one of the first landforms sighted by Māori navigators — sits proudly alongside Red Mercury and five smaller islets. Further southeast, the Alderman Islands rise dramatically from deep water, a nature reserve beloved by divers and boaties for its clear water and thriving marine life.

Lovingly made in New Zealand, each map is laser-cut from European Birch 3-ply plywood, then hand-painted and assembled to highlight the intricate bathymetry, island formations, and coastal features that define this special corner of the Coromandel.
