Kaiteriteri Beach

A list of New Zealand's top best beaches would be incomplete without a mention of the Nelson/Tasman region. With so many options, people chose Kaiteriteri Beach, which is located just south of the Abel Tasman National Park. This golden sand beach is a wonderful place to spend the day, and the kids will enjoy the crystal blue water, which is ideal for swimming. People travel to Kaiteriteri to stand-up paddleboard, kayak, or simply go for a swim, thanks to a beautiful, tiny estuary at the township's entrance and a long stretch of golden sand. If you have younger children, Kaiteriteri is a great area to take them kayaking or participate in other water sports.

Because the beach at Kaiteriteri is naturally curved, the water is normally very calm. It is also close to additional beaches and little coves that can be visited safely from the main beach. The Kaiteriteri store, which is directly on the sea, also sells ice cream to round off a fun day with the kids.
