Perfect for a sunny day. I like doing a loop (about three miles) but there are endless jumping off points and food and drink options. You can also get a water taxi or hire paddleboards.
The M Shed is popular with families (and is free!).

This is on the harbour and there is still some boat building going on. Some lottery money has recently seen a visitor centre pop up within the cafe. It's very pretty and is a lovely part of the walk by the harbour.
