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 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.
