Monaco Peninsula
- Location
- The walk starts from ‘The Honest Lawyer’, an Elizabethan-style country pub at the end of Songer Street on the edge of the Monaco seafront.
- Description
Monaco is one of Nelson’s loveliest suburbs with its seaside setting in close proximity to the airport.
Check the newspaper for tide times when planning this walk.
Proceed around the estuary on Point Road and turn right at the Monaco reserve. Cross the reserve and when you get down to the beach turn left and continue around to the southern end of the point. The beach becomes rocky half way around so the road may be easier walking. To the right you can see the tail end of the airport land, and further west is Oyster Island, a public reserve which is great for picnics if you have a boat.
Around the end of the point start heading back towards the Honest Lawyer. The western end of Point Road is a tidal zone and is sand along one portion – in a spring tide make sure to bring your gumboots.
