Low tide at Grossi Point, Mapua

One thing the Tasman District isn’t short of is estuaries, and the largest of these is the Waimea Inlet. This photo was taken at Grossi Point, which is a small peninsula on the northern side of the Waimea Inlet, near the town of Mapua. Grossi Point has views across the inlet and over to Rabbit Island, the largest of the barrier islands that separate the inlet from Tasman Bay. This boat was beached near Grossi Point last summer while being worked on, a cost-effective DIY option relative to marina haul out and hardstand fees.
