Glenduan Reserve located 18 km from nelson. Beautiful restful place to relax. Great place for dog walk and to spot seals hanging out. Walking area on the side of beach. 2 playgrounds, a skateboard area, toilets, play area for children with a flying fox and plenty of parking. Glenduan is a very rocky place beach. It also goes to Cable Bay via the beach or the Cable Bay Walkway, which is an 8km track over the hill. Marine Reserve area .No fishing, netting, taking or killing marine life. No removal of any natural material from the reserve.

Big wide open spaces for ball games, 2 playgrounds, a skateboard area, toilets, and plenty of parking. Just a short walk to the beach if you fancy a paddle.

Lovely spot away from houses and water front. Pity there are no self contained motorhome overnight parking allowed. It would be nice to allow up to 4 spaces there for a night. A bit mean spirited to excluded responsible motorhome owners staying and enjoying the walks.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Glenduan Beach II (South island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Glenduan Beach II (South island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Glenduan Beach II for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
