Søen ø bedste strande

Glenduan Reserve is located 18 km from Nelson and is a beautiful, restful place to relax. It's a great spot for dog walks and seal spotting. There is a walking area along the side of the beach, and the reserve features two playgrounds, a skateboard area, toilets, a children's play area with a flying fox, and plenty of parking. The beach at Glenduan is very rocky. You can also reach Cable Bay from here, either via the beach or the 8 km Cable Bay Walkway that goes over the hill. The area is a Marine Reserve, so no fishing, netting, taking, or killing of marine life is allowed, and the removal of any natural material from the reserve is prohibited.

This place is incredibly welcoming. There's ample parking for up to 25 motorhomes, and the beach is just steps away. You'll find a rubbish bin and shared toilets on site, which are also used by the NZMCA park across the road. It's DOG friendly and very quiet, except for the occasional sounds of wekas.

I absolutely love this place! The beach has beautiful sand, and it's perfect for a drive over the hill.

This beach was our first stop on our journey from Dunedin to Lake Tekapo, just a short distance off Hwy 1. The sand here is home to these fascinating round boulders, formed from the calcification of dinosaur mud. Some of them are almost perfectly round, while others resemble petrified tortoise shells with hexagonal patterns of yellower rock. It's quite an interesting walk down the short beach to witness dozens of these boulders. There are a few stairs to access the beach, but they are not difficult to climb.

The little beach near Cheviot offers stunning scenery with its dramatic rock formations.

The managers at the beach were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. The lady at the dairy was also very kind and assisted us in reaching out to the manager. They made us feel very welcome and comfortable. We are extremely grateful! The view at French Pass was absolutely stunning. We witnessed a massive pink moon rising from the sea, which was a sight like no other. The restroom facilities were exceptionally clean, and the shower room was spacious with a convenient hook for hanging a solar shower bag. We will definitely be returning in the future!
