Make sure not to kite close to the rocks - you don't want to end up on them and they do create a strong updraft too. On a low tide it seems like a one big beach but as soon as the tide comes in the pass underneath the rocks disappears. Hazards : First of all - the tide moves really fast here - watch out for your gear. It can be a bit on and off though so don't venture out too far if you feel that it's dying off! The beach is brilliant when it properly kicks in from SW or SSW, with very little chop and clean wind. If it's too southerly it will bounce off the massive cliff very often creating windless area next to the shore. If it's too westerly it becomes cross-shore and a bit more gusty. But do wear shoes as the rocks can be sharp: Make sure not to obstruct way for the locals though! To get the other beach at high tide you need to go over the rocks - there's a small path there. Park up on the street next to the port - set your SatNav to KY3 9SB. The small beach next to harbour isn't too safe to kite unless it's an onshore wind and the tide is completely out. Nelson region combines the finest elements of the New Zealand experience and is blessed by having the most sunshine hours in New Zealand.When we say we're heading to Pettycur we mean the second beach behind the rocks.
