The Glen - all beaches

Glenduan Reserve is located 18 km from Nelson and is a beautiful, restful place to relax. It's a great spot for dog walks and seal spotting. There is a walking area along the side of the beach, and the reserve features two playgrounds, a skateboard area, toilets, a children's play area with a flying fox, and plenty of parking. The beach at Glenduan is very rocky. You can also reach Cable Bay from here, either via the beach or the 8 km Cable Bay Walkway that goes over the hill. The area is a Marine Reserve, so no fishing, netting, taking, or killing of marine life is allowed, and the removal of any natural material from the reserve is prohibited.

This place is absolutely beautiful to live in or visit. However, it would be greatly appreciated if people could refrain from littering. It's becoming quite exhausting to constantly pick up trash that is either thrown out of cars or left behind by visitors. This place is truly a gem, and we can all contribute to its preservation by taking our own rubbish home instead of dumping it here. Let's ensure that everyone can continue to enjoy this wonderful treasure.

This is a fantastic place to relax and there's a pleasant short stroll towards the rocky shore further down in the south.
