Create an itinerary including Oriental Bay

Boasting sandy beaches and a bustling promenade, Oriental Bay represents one of Wellington's most fashionable and desirable neighborhoods. Soak up the lively atmosphere on a leisurely stroll before going for a paddle in the bay's clear blue waters. A much beloved fountain sits off shore, creating an impressive spectacle with its 16 m (52 ft) spray, while a disused wooden barge provides a welcome resting and sunning spot for swimmers. It's a good idea to bring a jacket with you on your visit as the bay can get very windy. Use our Wellington day trip planning app to arrange your visit to Oriental Bay and other attractions in Wellington.

Ignore the criminals and people with mental health and take in the views of the nature. it is beautiful. if the locals stay inside it is even more beautiful.

As this was our last day we walked along the sea front towards Oriental Bay to view the harbour for a different view,we had a nice lunch at the Boat Cafe which is moored in the harbour.

I always come across Oriental Bay to Freyberg pool. It is beautiful and serene by feeling the wind. Overall, it is the best place to jog, walk, work out and swim at Freyberg pool.
