Wakefield Quay named after Captain Arthur Wakefield of the New Zealand Company was where many early European Settlers first set foot in New Zealand. It boasts beautiful views of Nelson's sheltered harbour and is also home to a collection of varied and exciting artworks that enhance the setting.

Wakefield Quay is a little hive of activity on a sunny weekend when the tide is in. It’s close to the port so look out for ships coming in and out, but there are often fishermen there - young and old, waiting for a bite. Why is this spot so good? It’s close to town, handy for a coffee at the restaurant on the quay, there is parking close by and if you don’t catch anything there’s Guytons fishmonger right there so you can always fake it with a bought fish for dinner!
