Getting to & around Golden Bay

Intro text - Transport - places to go and travel in Golden Bay

Wherever you go in Golden Bay there's something to entertain or astonish. Stunning beaches, blue sea, crashing waves and sculpted rock formations. Walk through lush bush, visit creative artisans and dine out on the fresh seafood. Invigorate or relax - get away from it all or into the thick of it...
