Elaine Bay is a bay located in Pelorus Sound, within the Marlborough Sounds at the north end of the South Island of New Zealand. Elaine Bay is in the Tawhitinui Reach (a branch of the main section of Pelorus Sound), which includes other bays such as Tennyson Inlet, Fitzroy Bay and Hallum Cove. The bay is accessed by the Elaine Bay Road, which connects with the Croisilles-French Pass Road at the top of the ridge. ==Attractions== There is a Department of Conservation Campsite situated right on the water's edge.〔http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-stay/conservation-campsites-by-region/marlborough/sounds-area/elaine-bay/〕 The beach in Elaine Bay is mostly rocky, with some small patches of gravel. Despite this, it is popular for swimming, as it has multiple wharfs and a swimming platform. All of these structures are maintained by Elaine Bay Aquaculture. There are also a couple of walking tracks: the Piwakawaka Track, which is an easy hour and a half return, and goes around to the next bay which has a golden beach that is perfect for picnicking and swimming; and the Archer Track, which is 4 hrs return, and connects Elaine Bay to Penzance Bay via a wide, well-used track which provides great views of spectacular scenery. There are also sea kayaks available for hire within the bay.〔http://www.seakayakingmarlborough.co.nz/marlborough_attractions.html〕 Elaine Bay is fed by a number of streams, and this creates a very rich ecosystem. Schools of fish such as herrings, kahawai and mackerel are found in great numbers. There are also a large number of birds including cormorants (known as shags) and weka. This diversity of wildlife, typical of the Marlborough Sounds, provides a rich fishing environment. There is also a boat ramp, moorings and small dock, which provide easy access to boating opportunities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elaine Bay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
