Riverton / Aparima is a little town on the south-eastern shoreline of the Jacobs River Estuary, 30 kilometres west of Invercargill, New Zealand. One of the most popular locations in Western Southland, it's a great destination to stop along the Southern Scenic Route. The settlement stretches over the Jacobs River Estuary, which is bordered by a broad, sweeping shoreline known for dolphin spotting. There are also some great areas for swimming at Taramea Bay, and surfing at Mitchell's Bay.
