Cable Bay

Cable Bay Road

Rotokura (Cable Bay) is a hidden gem in the Nelson Tasman region, only a 20-minute drive from Nelson City. It's so close to town that you feel like you’ve escaped it all and discovered a slice of beautiful nature in rural New Zealand.

The bay’s crystal clear water is gorgeous and rims a fine rock beach with some sandy patches; it is great for swimming, fishing, and kayaking, and at low tide, it’s a great rock pooling spot where you’re likely to see starfish, sea slugs, crabs and other interesting sea life.

Situated next to the Horoirangi Marine Reserve, Cable Bay is a popular snorkelling and diving destination and a drawcard for kayakers exploring the rough coastline, serene bays, beaches and caves.
