Southern Breakwater

Enjoy views of the Cobden Lagoon and the wide range of waterbirds that can be seen there. You may be fortunate enough to spot the rare kōtuku/white heron. On a clear day there are beautiful views of the Southern Alps, and closer at hand the Twelve Apostles range. The track is a flat gravelled surface of about 20 min, with a 100-m walk along the road edge of the lagoon back to the parking area. There is also foot access to the beach from the track, and seats and a picnic table along the way to rest at.

Awesome collection of old photos about the history of Greymouth. Unfortunately it is closed due to structural issues but you can still view this iconic building from outside.

10 min return walk containing a number of steps to a concrete structure where a 5” U.S. Naval Gun was housed and you can have an overlook of the Greymouth town there.

Art gallery (with some works for sale) with space for emerging artists. The gallery has an impressive collection of greenstone. The gallery is in the former Bank of New Zealand built in 1924.

This famous West Coast brewery which ships its beers through New Zealand offers 45min–1hr beer tours. Adults only.

Go up to the hill for an overlook of the Greymouth town and the coast. The track is unmaintained and covered by grasses, making some edges hard to recognize, so you need to be careful. The Gun Emplacement Walkway is more maintained and offers a similar overlook, although the Custom House is partly covered by trees from the Gun Emplacement. At the watch out of Lions walk, the Custom House at the riverside is clearly visible. About 40 min in return.
