Dogs permitted on lead and with Marlborough Sound permit (obtained from Picton DoC office)
Easy out and back run starting from the Boat Ramp in Elaine Bay and heading back up the road for 400m, before meeting the Piwakawaka Beach walk on the right (signposted).
Starts off on a gravel track, which becomes easy single track winding through the bush to the beach. Great place for a swim before heading back the same way.
