Greymouth

This small South Island town sits where the Grey River meets the Tasman Sea, making it a natural base for exploring the West Coast region of New Zealand. Much of the surrounding Grey District falls within the Conservation Estate, giving walkers and trampers ready access to protected land, with mountains close by. The town's waterfront position also gives it strong photographic appeal.
