Marine Parade viewing platform

Small pier with views. Quite and serene, if you want some peace and quiet.

Nice little spot along the Napier waterfront.The platform extends out to where the beach ends and ocean begins. You can get some nice photos from the platform.

The viewing platform looks like a pier from a distance with a cloud like covering over the top. At first I wasn't sure what it was but it was easy to figure out as you get closer. The platform isn't covered, the cloud roof is as water tight as a cloud.The entrance to the platform is on the beach walkway so it is very easy to get to. It looks like a normal platform with a piece of glass on the end. You walk from the walkway to the edge of the water. It was quite mesmerising watching the waves crash. It was raining when I went so the waves were quite rough and it was quite wet and cold. i still enjoyed walking down the platform to look out at sea for a bit.

Perfect location to propose, if they say no you can jump into the ocean.

Nice spot to stop and check out the beach line!

The marine parade viewing platform is along the art deco walkway. Nice views

Railed bridge. At the end of the bridge, the parapet is made of glass. The last part of the bridge is covered by an interesting modern roof structure, which however does not protect against rain. Here one can see how high waves break on the black beach in stormy winds.

Nice little viewing platform that extends out from the Marine Parade walkway towards the ocean. The structure on the end is more artwork than a functional roof or shelter but looks cool regardless. Nice spot to watch the waves and get a good view down the coast.
