Introduction
Tahunanui Beach ('Tahi'), northwest of Nelson, is the city's favourite beach, known for wide golden sand and shallow, gentle water. Facilities include a playground, skate park and water-sports centre, and summer draws big crowds; the Tahunanui Sandspit behind suits walking and birding, and sunsets over the sea are lovely.
