Great beach to walk on

Flat,white and clean beach. Great to run or walk on for some distance. Easy for family outings and for launching kayaks (although parking area a bit small and far if tide is out). Safe for swimming.

This wide beach with playground is perfect to take the kids for a run. At low tide you can walk from one end to the other, find sand spits, explore the rock pools, and discover all sorts of creatures that still live there.

Good beach

Had a lovely stroll on the beach. Watched the flights from the airport easy to spot the planes. Lots of families and dogs. People were swimming in the sea.

Nice beach

Nice beach and the waves were not too high. Looks like you would have a nice walk along the beach and from Nelson the is a good path along the coast. Quite a beautiful backdrop.

Hi , as its a predominately coastal country your trip will take you around some of the most amazing countryside but as much as it is beautiful, you might want to take a cardigan ... and a rain coat . Its winter after all !
