Thames is the Coromandel Peninsula’s main town. Idyllically situated between the Firth of Thames and the mountains of the Coromandel Forest Park, Thames has a fascinating history linked to gold mining and forestry. Historic wooden commercial buildings, pubs and homes give the town plenty of character. There are two museums to visit and a hands-on goldmining experience to try. As a sizeable town, Thames offers a wide choice of accommodation, restaurants and shops. The Saturday morning market is a great place to find an arty souvenir. For fresh air and exercise, head for the hiking tracks of nearby Kauaeranga Valley.
