Freyberg Beach is a popular sandy beach located in the heart of Wellington City, just a short stroll from the waterfront. Nestled in the southern end of the harbour, this beach is very sheltered and often calm. A pier provides a diving platform while a swimming raft is located off the shoreline. The site is a popular spot for families, with toilet and changing facilities, a children's playground and plenty of parking near by. 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.
