Motueka Saltwater Baths
Motueka
North Street, Motueka 7120
The Nelson Tasman region’s only saltwater baths lie on the Motueka foreshore. They offer spectacular views over the still, glassy waters surrounding them.
The tidal baths were originally created after a shark sighting in the early 1920s. A local fundraiser generated enough money to install galvanised wire and enclose the foreshore. The enclosure has now been further developed with a playground, picnic area, and BBQ pits and continues to be a popular attraction for families, locals, and visitors alike.
Whether you’re paddling under the warmth of the summer sun during the silly season, enjoying a winter sunset on the decking, or getting creative with photography during autumn, the saltwater baths are enjoyable all year round.
