Abel Tasman National Park is best known for its charming coastline — sweeping golden beaches, rugged headlands, intimate coves, sandy estuaries and rocky reefs and islands. These features are a strong drawcard for the visitors who walk the gentle Coast Track. The multitude of campsites and the relatively short distances between the huts allow time for relaxing, swimming and sunbathing, exploring the coast and forest areas and taking side walks. Many visitors choose to paddle sea kayaks or sail yachts along the coast and explore the many bays and headlands that the track bypasses.
The mild climate and high sunshine hours make the park an attractive place to visit at any time of the year – 'a park for all seasons' as the park handbook is so aptly titled. Many people now choose to avoid the summer crowds on the coast and visit at other times of the year to enjoy the park's attractions. Others tramp the less popular Inland Track through the hilly centre of the park. The main road enters the park at Marahau, Canaan, Wainui and Totaranui which all have picnic facilities and short walks that can be enjoyed by family groups and other day visitors. Day visitors can also take advantage of the launch service's fixed timetable and landing point to walk a section of the Coast Track.
