Westport Surfing, Stand Up Paddle Boarding, & Water Sports
The port town of Westport is the main town in the north of the West Coast on the South Island of New Zealand. Originally a gold mining town it is now coal mining that keeps the town growing. There are plenty of outdoor activities to do in Westport. Visit the fur seal colony at Cape Foulwind, go caving, rafting or jet boating on the Buller River. If adventure is not for you then take a step back in time at the Coaltown Museum in Westport and see what the town used to be like.
