Shallow Bay forms a magnificent cove. Its long white sand beach will allow you a relaxing and calm stroll after your day of hiking.
You can also simply sit down and enjoy the serenity of the place. Swimming is not forbidden there but we advise you to have a little thick leather all the same: it is a lake of glacial origin fed by snow from the fjords. The water is cold there.
This landscape is the very representation that one has of New Zealand before coming there. Take the time to enjoy it.
