Motueka River flows from mountains near Nelson and empties into Tasman Bay. Watersports including rafting, tubing and kayaking and brown trout fishing are popular activities along the river but the primary recreational use is swimming. The carpark is located below the Alexander Bluff Bridge and toilets can be found a little further down the river at Alexander Bluff Reserve. The Motueka River is one of New Zealand's cleanest rivers and usually meets water quality requirements.
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.
