Napier certainly offers all that good in New Zealand . . . in a “packaged deal “.
Visitors can swim in the sea, go surfing or skin diving, go hunting, shooting, climb a mountain if they like.
Go sailing, play bowls, croquet, tennis, squash, badminton or billiards.
Eat, drink, ride a horse, sample wines where they’re made, pick a ripe juicy apple, pear peach or plum, go out on a farm or visit a factory.
Sit in the sun – or the shade – picnic by a river or on a sandy beach, be entertained, go for walks or just sit around and relax. You name it Napier has it. !
Water sports and recreation are a very familiar pass time in Napier.
With its surfing, swimming or fishing beaches – sand or shingle you take your pick – salt water and fresh water swimming pools for adults and children, boat and yachting harbour, stretches of rocky coastline and tranquil riverside picnic spots, you can enjoy yourself over, under or near the water in Napier.
Napier City’s Marine Parade is as famous as it is fascinating. This Golden Mile, of the Pacific Coast packages such a line-up of beauty and entertainment that it becomes a real holiday adventureland with something to entertain and amuse the visitor in each of its 1760 yards.
Napier City has the distinction of being the first sizeable place in the world that the sun shines on every day. Maybe that’s why the sun seems to have a “thing” about Napier . . . it’s always reluctant to leave the place. It stays with it most of the time.
It warms the beaches, the water in the swimming pools . . . and the people’s welcome to the visitor.
They have a saying in Napier: “If the sun’s not shining. . . its because they need the rain.”
“GOLDEN MILE” OF THE MARINE PARADE.
It is unlikely that anywhere you’ll come across anything that quite matches Napier’s Marine Parade. The mile long beach front offers a unique concentration of pleasure and entertainment. The features cater for all ages and is undoubtedly New Zealand’s finest beach front development.
At the northern (Hill) end of the Parade a shady picnic area has been developed where the visitor can park his car and have a picnic at the tables and chairs provided.
