On the northwest coast of the peninsula is the port of Coromandel (pop. 1,500), around which gold was worked in the 1860s. There is an interesting museum in the former School of Mines (open by appointment). Other features are the old Court House (1860) and an old stamper battery for crushing the gold-bearing ore.
