Photographer Description of Oriental Bay Beach
A panorama taken from the beach at Oriental Bay. There were a few people relaxing on the beach, though the day was partially overcast. One of the life guards is just launching himself onto a surf board next to the shoreline. There is a massive fountain in the bay which can be seen for miles.Oriental Bay Beach - Further Information
Oriental Bay is a north facing bay near to the central Wellington. Just to the left of the bay is the Clyde Quay Marina and Freyberg Pool. Oriental Bay and the surrounding shoreline has recently been renovated. The beaches here have been enlarged and a new beach has been built east of the Band Rotunda. The sand for the new beaches was imported from Takaka in the South Island of New Zealand. This renovation has made the promenade along Oriental Bay an integral part of the seafront walk that extends all along Central Wellington. The shoreline is lined with numerous hotels.Further east the road continues along the coast to Point Jerningham before turning sharply south towards Evans Bay and Wellington Airport.
