Golden Bay Essentials

Golden Bay, located at the northwestern tip of New Zealand's South Island, features diverse geological landmarks. The area is home to Te Waikoropupū Springs, which produce some of the clearest freshwater in the world. Visitors can explore the 35-kilometer-long Farewell Spit, the rugged Archway Islands at Wharariki Beach, and the granite cliffs of Abel Tasman National Park. The region also includes Cape Farewell, the South Island's northernmost point, and unique limestone formations like those found at The Grove and Labyrinth Rocks.
