Situated in Eastbourne, Days Bay is only a short ferry trip across the harbour from the Wellington CBD. It is a sandy beach popular with swimmers and walkers. Divers and recreational fishermen enjoy the use of the pier. While no lifeguards are present the sheltered nature of the beach and its gentle incline make it a safe swimming spot. Parking, toilets and changing facilities are located at the beach front and a cafe, and parks are situated directly across the road. This site is monitored as a part of Greater Wellington Regional Council’s Recreational Water Quality Monitoring Programme, which is specifically designed to inform the public about the suitability of various sites across the region for swimming and other recreational activities.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
