Picton is located on the Marlborough Sound and is the main port city that connects the South Island to Wellington on the North Island. Although we were only there long enough to sleep, do laundry, and board the Inter-Islander ferry, the town is supposed to have a nice seafront with shops, cafes, and restaurants. Other activities available in close proximity include: diving, fishing, sea kayaking, Marlborough Wine Trail, and the Queen Charlotte Track.
