★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome natural creation. Tricky to walk along, but well worth the efforts. Great views of Nelson, across the Bay, & out to sea. Some interesting creations along the way

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Boulder Bank spans 13 kilometres and is the longest natural rock pile of its kind in the world.
It was formed, more than 10,000 years ago when landslips in the Mackay Bluff (between Cable Bay and Glenduan) were swept southwards by strong sea currents. The bank varies in width from 55 to 240 metres depending on the tide, and the granodiorite rocks vary in size from large boulders several metres wide to cobbles and small pebbles.
Due to global warming, Nelson already gets inundated with king tides and storms.
Nelson can have very big tides, along with a storm on top of that and you get very high sea levels. It is quite common for Nelson to get 3.5 to 4-metre tide ranges.
Luckily, the city of Nelson has the 13km long, naturally formed Boulder Bank to protect it. However, that might not be enough in future.
The Boulder Bank provides a lot of wave protection but sea level rise will eventually wipe it out one day. Walk on it while you can before it disappears from view.
Driftwood already piles on top of Boulder Bank from big storms.
