New Chums, off Whangapoua beach, is a lovely hidden jewel, but not a secret. Lots of visitors the day I was there. It reminded me a lot of the beaches in the Abel Tasman, golden sand bays with aqua blue water and bush all around (though this one had some rocky cliff faces). Theres a few campaigns to "Save New Chums" around the place, which I asked one of the locals about. She said its owned by developers and people don't want it developed because that will spoil its current natural loveliness. If i had a treasure like that in my backyard, I would want it saved for future generations as well.
