ARCHITECTURE
Architecture is an important aspect no matter where in the world you visit but this is even more relevant for the cities of Hawkes Bay. The story of the Hawkes Bay's history can be read like a book by inspecting the styles and attributes that have shaped the buildings and the people that now live amongst them.
 
MARINE PARADE
This one stretch of shoreline used to be the lifeline that connected Napier to the rest of the Bay, at the end of last century. But through nature and a mans hand this stoney spit has been transformed into a tree lined paradise rich with attractions and sites yet still remains the feeling of yester-year.
 
PARKS AND WILDERNESS
As more and more of nature is destroyed in the name of progress, there are still a few havens of untouched wilderness out there for us enjoy with Hawkes Bay. Our National parks/ forests and wet areas can be enjoyed but must also be respected so that future generations can also experience it. People who want to stay within the urban areas are also catered for by parks that are renowned throughout the county as a sight in their own right, not to be missed.
