Schnappers Point Surf Photo: 'Nelson Boulder Bank at Schnappers' by Rob Davies
Looking towards The Glen and the source of the rocks that make up the weird and wonderful boulder bank. Easy access makes Schanppers by far the most popular option for Nelson surfers. Other breaks further south are hard to reach and are often unsurfed.
