Thames · Thames

Thames sits at the foot of the Coromandel Peninsula where the Kauaeranga Valley opens onto the Firth of Thames. The town boomed after gold was struck in 1867 and still wears that history in its long heritage main street and old mining sites. Today it is the gateway for visitors heading north into the Coromandel and a stop on the Hauraki Rail Trail.
