Parks & Nature
Motueka Quay
Motueka QuayThere's a nice walk by the beach and a shipwreck to view.
It's a sacred healing place for the Maori - where the water comes up from the limestone caves that make passages under the Takaka Hill. A spot for divers to go caving (if you can brave the icy waters).
