Visited a beautiful bay in Wellington which has been renamed Dave's Bay since an apparently homeless man (called Dave) ran his yacht ashore a couple of weeks ago on purpose. The bay is lovely for swimming and boating. New Zealand is awesome as even homeless people have yachts here. It's a boatie paradise.

If you're wanting to go for a nice stroll in the park whilst your children can have fun at an exciting playground, then Aotea Lagoon is the option for you. Went here not long ago and enjoyed it so much. The fun splash pad was also a very fun activity. 10/10.

Owhiro Bay is located at the southern side of Wellington. It is a short drive away. The bay is very rocky and one can spot seals and birds over here. A short drive up the hill from this bay offers some spectacular views.
