Leisure Adventure
Adventure during a Nelson summer can be as strenuous as you want to make it — or as leisurely. Shopping along historic Baker Street, stopping for a coffee or tea as you spend hours ducking into locally owned shops selling locally made crafts and works of art is a welcome option.
Spending the day by the lake, too, is a worthwhile pursuit. The Lakeside cafe serves mostly local and often organic options, so a picnic becomes a gourmet treat.
