Wellington’s waterfront, known as the Harbour Front, is a vibrant and scenic area that beautifully blends natural beauty with the city's urban charm. Stretching from Queens Wharf to Oriental Bay, this area is ideal for a leisurely stroll, offering stunning views of the harbor and the surrounding hills. The waterfront is lined with cafés, restaurants, and public art installations, providing plenty of spots to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. One of the highlights is the Wellington Waterfront Walk, which offers a pleasant route with plenty of green spaces and recreational areas. Visitors can also explore the Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa, located right along the harbor. The area is bustling with activity, from street performers to weekend markets, and hosts events and festivals throughout the year. Whether you're keen on sailing, dining, or simply enjoying the view, Wellington’s Harbour Front is a must-visit destination for all ages.

Clyde Quay Boat Harbour is a distinctive and scenic spot on Wellington's waterfront, known for its colorful boatsheds that are a visual trademark of the city. Established between 1901 and 1904 after land reclamation, it originally featured a mini-harbour protected by sea walls and breakwaters. Over the years, the harbour has evolved with additional buildings, including boatsheds from 1905 and 1922, and clubrooms like those of the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club, which played a role during World War II when it was used by American marines. Situated between the Freyberg Pool and Clyde Quay Wharf apartments, and overlooked by Mount Victoria and St Gerard's Monastery, this heritage area offers a beautiful setting for a peaceful walk or a relaxing break on a sunny day.

It is one of the best place in Wellington. You can have casual walk all around the water front. There will be a park for kids. For ferry travellers, there is a wharf called Queens wharf. You get some good views of sea, harbour. There will be benches available to sit and relax while enjoying the view. There will be cycle stand where you can rent cycles. There is also a helicopter pad where tourist helicopter will land and take people. There will be so many shops all around Many restaurants all along the water front. You can walk till Tepapa museum from water front. There is a place for fishing too. Overall it's a great place to relax and see the beauty of Wellington. I took some photos and here are few.

There's no place like Oriental Bay. It's the ultimate cure for whatever your heart is in need of: fun, relaxation, love or reflection. I can't quite explain it, but there's just something so magical about spending a summer day or night by the bay. When I further my studies in Wellington, I spent a great deal of time here to contemplate or just to take a breather. Being away from home is difficult and challenging, so to cope with it, I would take a stroll by the bay to bask in the sun and let the wind caressed my skin (It can be too windy for my taste most of the time. After all, Welly is known as Windy Wellington). The view of the bay is simply stunning, especially when the sky is blue and clear.

An extremely beautiful and tranquil place to walk. Simply stunning. An extremely interesting place to have a quiet stroll on a beautiful Wellington Day. The harbour is truly stunning, and dotted with small eateries, restaurants, and things to do. Hire a bike or even a Kyack to see and more. Grab and ice cream and sit in the sun. Lots of places of local historical interest and the Wellington museum and National Museum Te Papa all with a few mile walk. Go for a jog along it to Oriental Parade. Highly recommended even on a windy day

Waterfront just great at all time. I enjoy walking and taking my children to play in the playground. If you enjoy coffee i can recxomend Flight Coffee nearby the Helicopter place. Ice cream also good option in the sunny day, there is an ice cream shop just nearby the playground. On Saturday there is Market selling sort of kind of stuffs, from fruits, veggies, clothing, antiques and many more. My favorite is walking along the waterfront and enjoying my son playing piano at the public Piano in front of the market entrance.
