LEFT: Tahunanui Beach, the sports field, motor camp and golf club behind the camp, and the Tasman range of mountains in the background. RIGHT: Tahunanui Beach about 1900. Changes in the currents around the Waimea Estuary Mouth and Tahunanui Beach (formerly known as the Sands) have caused considerable changes in the nature of the foreshore. The area of Tahunanui was undeveloped until Rocks Road (from the Port) was completed in 1899. This very popular area of Nelson today sees thousands of summer visitors flock to the gently shelving sandy beach. Prior to 1920 very few houses existed here.
