Robin Hood Bay has a free, basic campsite that is maintained by the Department of Conservation. The steep winding road has incredible views but can be difficult to navigate so please use caution. The bay is fairly isolated and is known as one of the best surf locations in Marlborough. The beach at the east end is the preferred swimming beach.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is essential right now. Follow the advice of the health experts. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Heading to the beach should only be considered an option if social distancing practices can be followed. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter the efforts to curb the virus’ spread.
