It was beautiful coming into Picton on the Celebrity Solstice and we were glad we got up to see the ship dock here. It is a lovely small town & there was an outdoor market the day we were there.

Beautiful walk with reflections in the lagoon if you chance it on a fine and calm day. Takes about 40 mins to do the loop from the town centre depending on your walking speed and how long you want to sit on one of the benches to soak up the views.

One can endlessly watch as the waves break on the huge black rocks underneath and around the lookout point. Even though the viewing platform is quite high above the sea the roar of the sea is deafening and in between you even get the spray from the waves as they crash endlessly against the breakwater.The glorious sunset over the Tasman Sea was a sight to see from here.

A lovely area to have a picnic. Plenty of room to park a motorhome and brew youself and cuppa, a nice cafe if in a car. Nice clean toilets, BBQ's to use and a garden area with play equipment for the kids. Nice.

A little bit of history with the warf. The boat is a great place for kids to go and play. A great start to a 30 min run around the lagoon. It was very windy, but expect that is normal. Well formed path which would be great for a bike ride. Map attached in the pictures.
