Pandora Pond in Napier is not really a pond but is a small sheltered and shallow area of Ahuriri Estuary, partially separated from the main estuary by a sand spit. It is tidal and also has freshwater flowing into it. Pandora Pond is a high-use area year-round for swimming, kayaking, rowing, paddle boarding, sailing and waka ama. Multisport events are often centred here, such as IronMaori and triathlons.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
