Robin Hood Bay (Marlborough) is located outside the Rarangi settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the South island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Robin Hood Bay with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

"Blissfully beautiful beach. Was a tad windy. On a hot summers day it was wonderful to escape the crowds at whites bay and laze on the grass. As it has been a hot hot summer the water was warm enough to stay in for an hour. Wonderful."

"Following the Port Underwood Road, you’ll find Robin Hood Bay, another great spot for dog friendly camping. A beautiful sandy beach that is perfect for swimming and sun bathing. The Department of Conservation operates a campground next to the beach with public toilets. Fishing is also a popular activity here. Felt very calm and good after reaching here. We went there in the ..."
