A coastal park you walk or kayak between golden beaches with no roads to interrupt the route, more sunshine hours than almost anywhere else in the country, and an arts and crafts scene that has made the town a magnet for potters and painters alike.
The best time to visit Nelson & the Abel Tasman is Dec–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 13°C (55°F).
