The Waikawa Marina is one of New Zealand's larges marinas and South Island tourist attractions. There are 2 public boat ramps and beautiful walkways that connect to the beach. There are plans to expand on the marina using sustainable development techniques.
Waikawa is a suburb of Picton in the inner Queen Charlotte Sound/Totaranui. A reserve and playground area adjacent to the sheltered waters of Waikawa Bay Beach are a great place for families to spend a sunny summer afternoon. With little or no wave action and current the bay is a safe swimming spot for all ages.
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.
