Oriental Bay Beach

Move from your art-filled apartment to a more natural kind of beauty. Soak in the inner-city vibes and (hopefully!) the sun at Wellington’s most popular beach. It’s the perfect spot to picnic, people-watch, or marvel at the swanky real-estate – all from your seat on the golden sand. But for those looking for a little more movement, find the start of the Southern Walkway right off Grass Street. Hike up the iconic Mount Victoria, or venture further along the Town Belt all the way to Island Bay. Whether lounging or strolling, there are no shortage of views to take in and memories to make.
