Greymouth, the largest town on the West Coast, is a vibrant gateway to the region’s wild landscapes and rich heritage.

Nestled between the Southern Alps and the Tasman Sea, it’s the perfect base for exploring rivers, mountains, and coastlines, while enjoying local galleries, cafés, and unique West Coast experiences right in town.

Greymouth has plenty to offer visitors, from charming cafés and restaurants to boutique shops and artisan stores where you can find locally made treasures. There are opportunities to explore Shantytown, a recreated gold rush village bringing the West Coast’s pioneering history to life, or experience Pounamu Pathways, an immersive cultural experience celebrating the region’s treasured greenstone.

Families and visitors of all ages can enjoy hands-on experiences, from discovering jade carving at local studios to wandering the town’s riverside walkways and historic streets, combining culture, history, and the unique character of the West Coast all in one visit.

Nature lovers can take a stroll along the Point Elizabeth Walkway or visit the popular Cobden Tip. A short 40 minute drive takes you along the famous Coast Road to  Punakaiki , where you can see the Pancake Rocks and blowholes, and new Punangairi  Visitor Centre.
