Going 'up the coast' is a favourite Gizzy thing to do. Get a taste of Coastie-Life by taking the 45 min drive to Tolaga Bay. Walk along the iconic 660 metre long Tolaga Bay Wharf, dangle a fishing line & have a coffee & refreshments at the Tolaga Bay Inn

Arts & Culture
Tairāwhiti Museum

This is quite different to your usual stuffy museum. A currated array of junk from a bygone era can be viewed with little barriers between you. Definately worth a look.

Shopping
Gisborne's retail is typical of small-town provincial New Zealand; most shops being located along the 'main-drag.' Essentially most Gisborne retail are lined up along Gladstone Road in half-kilometre strip starting from the Grey Street intersection to the town bridge.
