Rocks Road in Nelson is a vital thoroughfare from one end of the city to another. When you walk, cycle or drive on it, you can't help but marvel at the intense manual labour two centuries ago to create this spectacular drive.

What most people don't know is that there is also a sweet (slang for great) swimming spot.

This isn’t really a beach but well worth knowing about . Park at the Basin Car park on Rocks Road and walk along the road towards Tahunanui until you see a ladder down to the rocks below. At high tide you can swim straight off the rocks in to the sea and wave at the cars going by on Rocks Road. A very Nelson thing to do, especially on a warm evening.
