Okiwi Bay is located in the outer Marlborough Sounds. It has a substantial residential development in the catchment. There is a swimming area that is managed by the local resident's group. The relatively shallow gradient of the seafloor means that at low tide a wide sandy beach is exposed providing save swimming and playing for the whole family. A holiday park and several rental batches located near the beach provide accommodation for longer stays.
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.
