Photo & Vacation Spot

As the bubbles span across the surface of the water at the Watering Cove in Abel Tasman National Park on the South Island of NZ, a white clam shell is left behind on the beach.

Along the beach in Abel Tasman National Park in the Tasman District on the South Island of NZ, a rock and a shell have been left behind in the sand as the tide ebbs. Small bubbles form along the coastal shore where the golden hues below the surface glisten in the summer sunlight.

This secluded cove is known as the Watering Cove and visitors can hike the trail into this pristine area or board one of the boat cruises leaving from Kaiteriteri. The Watering Cove in Abel Tasman National Park on the South Island of NZ is home to an intriguing coastal landform called Kiwi Rock as well as other various archways and keyholes at Arch Point.

The sandy beaches are the most prominent features of Abel Tasman National Park as the tidal landscape is beautiful when it is at its lowest point. Kayaking around the park allows one to explore all the different coastal areas and the geological landscape. This is one of the sunniest places in the country where visitors can find accommodations at the lodges located along the shore or enjoy the wilderness at one of the many campgrounds. The Watering Cove is home to a small campground having an area large enough to accommodate 5 tent spaces.
