马尔堡大区: 该地区有 10 片海滩

我们经常来这里，因为我们住在40分钟车程的地方。全家人都喜欢这里，这对我们来说是一个很棒的出游日。带上野餐吧！在这个时候（夏天）这个地区 - 以及新西兰的很大一部分 - 通常是禁止生火的，我不确定是否可以使用烧烤架。在沃德的主路上有一家可爱的咖啡馆，提供厕所、加油站和一个大型停车场。

令人惊叹的海滩，拿彩色石头的好地方。还遇到了一只海豹，当时我们正低头找石头，差点走进了它的睡觉地方，吓了我们一跳。但它很放松。除此之外，只是喜欢这美丽的风景。

车程较长，但营地完美。营地较小，所以在温暖的月份会变得繁忙。营位就在海滩旁边。夜晚可以听到海浪声。干净的冲水厕所。冷水淋浴。关注我们 @bexandbugs

The managers at the beach were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. The lady at the dairy was also very kind and assisted us in reaching out to the manager. They made us feel very welcome and comfortable. We are extremely grateful! The view at French Pass was absolutely stunning. We witnessed a massive pink moon rising from the sea, which was a sight like no other. The restroom facilities were exceptionally clean, and the shower room was spacious with a convenient hook for hanging a solar shower bag. We will definitely be returning in the future!

位于Wairau Valley水盆地尽头，这个海滩由小石粒组成，更像一个西海岸海滩。比一般的东海岸沙滩看起来更加野性和粗犷。泳水不多，有时一片平静，有时又有不错的浪潮。晴天时可以看到北岛的景色。在Diversion河口可以钓到Kawhai。这里有几个免费的或便宜的DOC露营点。

一个相当野性的卵石海滩，适合长时间徒步旅行，发现有趣的洞穴和探索地方。游泳时需要小心。沙滩的坡度相当陡峭，海浪有时会很大。在海滩北端有一个称为猴子湾的更有保护性的海湾，可以通过阶梯到达。北端还有一个保护部露营地。 我不知道谷歌先生为什么添加了海滩亭。这不是我帖子的一部分。没有亭子!!

我们在一个阳光明媚的日子参观了海滩，虽然在蜿蜒的碎石路上行驶的路程相当长，但绝对值得。不过，我可能不应该提及这一点，因为现在每个人都想去那里，这可能会破坏魅力。 😊

海滩绝对令人惊叹，尽管风有点大。在炎热的夏日，这是怀特湾远离人群的完美选择，温暖的海水让这一切变得更加愉快。

探索海岸时必去的地方。这里不适合冲浪，浮潜也可以很有趣。这个地区有很多步道，尽管并不是每个人都适合，因为有些步道比较陡。

This beach is perfect for swimming and building with all the driftwood.

迷人的沙滩，配有便利的洗手间，是家庭露营的绝佳地点。此外，您可以以平静缓慢的速度步行、驾驶四轮驱动车或骑摩托车前往灯塔。

On November 14, 2016, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the east coast of New Zealand's South Island. With a depth of just 15km, the quake was felt across the country and was the second most powerful in New Zealand's history, surpassed only by the magnitude 8.2 earthquake that hit Wairarapa in 1855. The quake generated a tsunami with waves up to 10 meters high in Cook Strait, and a newly exposed strip of shoreline between Wellington and the Hutt Valley provided a safe road and railway route, making previously impassable coastal roads accessible at high tide. A similar phenomenon occurred at Marfell's Beach scenic walk to the lighthouse, a popular 6km trail that takes about 90 minutes to complete. The Marfells Beach-Cape Campbell walk is an unmarked route that follows the beach from the Marfells Beach camping ground to Cape Campbell, the southernmost tip of Cook Strait. Before the November 2016 Kaikoura earthquake, access to Cape Campbell required careful timing with low tide. However, the earthquake caused significant uplift, making the beach walk more accessible and less dependent on the tides. It is still wise to check weather conditions before setting out. The turnoff to Marfells Beach is about 36 kilometers south of Blenheim, with the beach located a further 8km along a mostly sealed road. Cook Strait is known as one of the world's roughest stretches of water, part of the westerly wind belt called the Roaring Forties. This has led to numerous shipwrecks in the 19th century. The average ocean depth of Cook Strait is about 128 meters. Between 1845 and 1947, 19 ships met their fate along this east coast stretch. The earthquake uplift has revealed numerous rocks and reefs, explaining the perilous conditions. The lighthouse is located at the southernmost extreme of Cook Strait. Marfells Beach features a DOC camping ground, which is quite popular. This area is one of the sunniest places in New Zealand, so visitors can expect excellent weather. Nearby, as you drive into Marfell's Beach, you'll see the local salt factory. Taking advantage of Marlborough’s low rainfall, the Dominion Salt company has been producing salt here since 1942, generating over 70,000 tonnes of sea salt annually. While there are no public tours or sales at the saltworks, you can view the evaporation ponds and

这个海滩是一个可爱的地方，有一个小型自然保护区。它有一个可以听到青蛙叫声的池塘、一个孩子们喜欢的游乐场和一个卫生间设施。

海滩很小，但风景如画，附近似乎有很多青蛙。虽然我没有真正见过它们，但整个地区都能听到它们独特的叫声。

从皮克顿出发的有趣驾驶和美丽的风景。

要从皮克顿到达这个海湾，您将体验到世界上最风大的道路之一。这条路一路上上下下。海湾很小，沙子柔软，还有一张长椅。这里是最享受的环境。注意：这条路的封闭部分到此结束，但您可以在石子路面上继续驾驶。

可爱的地方，离这个海湾不远有一个观景台。请务必花点时间欣赏海湾。真是难以置信的美丽……

大洋湾 (Ocean Bay) 位于安德伍德港 (Port Underwood) 的西部边缘，可通过安德伍德港路 (Port Underwood Road) 轻松抵达。这个迷人的海湾边缘有深水，顶端有沙滩，是夏季野餐的理想场所。海滩爱好者纷纷涌向大洋湾，因为这里有绝佳的游泳机会，而且靠近布伦海姆繁华的中心地带。

可爱的沙滩，水清澈宜人！我去的时候整个沙滩都是我的。

令人难以置信的好地点！从皮克顿或哈维洛克出发的路程有点棘手，道路非常狭窄，所以要预留足够的时间。我们在这里用我们的自助车露营了两个晚上，无需预订。当我访问时，每晚15纽元。我们整个地方都是我们自己的。海滩很美丽，沿着道路散步也很愉快。绝对是划皮划艇的好地方。有冲水马桶、冷水淋浴和非饮用水的水槽。还要注意，您将在一个有羊圈的露营地露营，所以要小心羊粪！露营地的设施很基本，但孤独和美丽使其更值得！
