Long Beach
On the eastern side of Russell. you'll find a small, idyllic stretch of sand, a pop-up coffee cart and a scattering of esplanade car parks, just a 20-minute walk from town or drive it in five. Oneroaa Bay, as it is also known, is a sheltered spot with gentle sloping entry into calm water making it a choice swimming spot for families with kids.
Jim’s Walkway
Local man Jim has been clearing and planting his own nature trail for decades. The public are welcome to traipse his route to Tapeka Point. A subtle sign indicating its existence can be spied just before you get to Long Beach.
Bee Hotels
Jim, of Jim’s Walkway fame, is also the proprietor of a series of Bee Hotels. These transformed letterboxes now accommodate solitary bees that have shunned the usual beehive setup. Check them out on Jim’s Walkway.
