Motueka Saltwater Baths — Attraction in Tasman

Not only is this only one of two saltwater baths in NZ , but the only .one on such an incredibly idyllic bay . We also now have three brand new bespoke toilets cum change rooms. Open September through to May and cleaned fortnightly , purely by volunteers.

At high tide the option to float over the seawall is too tempting to pass over 😀. PS A historic places trust protected property makes this an intergenerational protected Community Asset...

Saltwater baths were created and looked after by locals. They allow swimming at all tides and help children learn to swim . Locals give their time for free so please respect the clean baths . Nice place to sit on a sunny day. Tides,are over 4 meters in Tasman Bay so baths,are useful on a hot day at low tide. Parking playground and changing sheds close by. 3 day max camping...

The kids love this place.. Something a bit different.. And it's an activity that doesn't cost anything. There's a good playground right there as well that has several picnic tables. A toilet block and plenty of rubbish bins so there's no excuse for littering.. Its a great thing to do on a hot sticky day.. A salt water pool and a picnic topped off with a swing, a slide...
