The most beautiful urban beach in New Zealand. Early morning off-leash runs with my dog as the sun rises over the harbour — absolutely magical. A Wellington treasure.

Stunning beach with a great atmosphere. Check the seasonal restrictions for off-leash hours in summer, but early mornings are perfect for a run with your dog.

A world-class city beach. My dog loves the early morning sessions here — it becomes a real social hub with dogs and owners. The waterfront promenade is beautiful.
