Lakefront Beach & Earnslaw Park
The lakefront beach and adjacent Earnslaw Park is both the beating and resting heart of Queenstown, always a place of activity or a perfect spot to sit and watch the world wander by while absorbing the spectacular landscape responsible for putting Queenstown on the world map. Time it perfectly and The Earnslaw will top off the picturesque scene by sweeping into the town's bay – a finely tuned manoeuvre perfected over the 100 years that the lake has been home of the grand old ship.
