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.
