Jackson Bay

#summervacay Jackson Bay is the southernmost road-accessible bay on the West Coast and a remote treasure for summer travelers. Its rugged coastline, black sand beaches, and wild beauty make it feel untouched. The small fishing village here is quiet, with the Cray Pot—an iconic seaside food caravan—offering some of the freshest seafood in the country. The beach is great for walking and watching the sea crash against the shore, and the peacefulness is unmatched. If you’re looking to escape the crowds and see the true edge of New Zealand, Jackson Bay in summer is unforgettable.
