Patons Rock is a coastal settlement in the Tasman District of New Zealand. It is located in Golden Bay, northwest of Tākaka.
Located on the coast of Golden Bay, between Tākaka and Collingwood, two kilometres (1.2 mi) north of State Highway 60, Patons Rock was named for the pioneer Paton family, who arrived in Nelson on the Fifeshire in 1842.[1] A shallow beach runs for 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) and is regarded as being safe for swimming.[2][3][4] The eponymous rock, Patons Rock, is located at the eastern end of the beach.[1] Many of the dwellings in Patons Rock are holiday homes, and there are no shops in the settlement.[3]
