Oriental Bay

Wellington's imported golden-sand beach, minutes from the city

Address Oriental Parade

Just 15 minutes walk from the central city, Oriental Bay is Wellington's most popular beach. The golden sand was actually imported from Golden Bay at the top of the South Island. Wellingtonians jog along the promenade, swim on warm days, and crowd the waterfront cafes on summer evenings.
