Make a day of it
Our neighbours are some of the best reasons to come out to the bay. Here’s how we’d spend a day, and a night.
The coastal track starts at the beach and heads over farmland toward Glenduan, about three hours one way. Big views over Tasman Bay.
Sit under the vines overlooking the estuary, or take it to go.
Swim best from low to mid tide. Kayak around Pepin Island’s caves, or snorkel the Horoirangi Marine Reserve.
GoodHeat Sauna sits at the entrance to Pepin Island, a few steps from the water. Sunset sessions go fast.
Clifftop huts with outdoor baths on Pepin Island, or a powered site or cabin at Cable Bay Holiday Park, right beside us.
