Tata Beach
A couple of left
turns off Abel Tasman Drive brings you into Tata Beach which must be one
of the fastest developing settlements in GOLDEN BAY, a lifestyle choice
for many permanent residents and lots of rentable holiday homes and of
course the usual B&B.
These two favourite
swimmimg beaches, Ligar Bay (safer for the family) and Tata for the more
serious swimmers who prefer deeper water, are often thought to have put
the ‘golden’ in the name of GOLDEN BAY. A lovely thought but of course
it actually comes from the early gold mining activities.
Highlights of
staying overnight here at Tata Beach are the beautiful views looking out
over the Tata Islands and the sunsets that you’ll never forget.
These islands, with
their steep limestone cliffs, archway and seabird colony are a popular
venue for kayakers. Equipment can be hired at the beach.
