Patons Rock is a beach on the Tasman side of Golden Bay, reached from Bydder Terrace in Patons Rock, Tasman. The shallows are warm and the sand is golden, and the listing describes it as suited to families and to dogs. Its main draw is the view, as the sun goes down over Golden Bay's gentle waters. For people staying in the Golden Bay area who want an easy beach spot for the afternoon or the evening, it is a quiet place to watch the light change over the water.
