Mahanga Bay

Mahanga Bay in Wellington is a sheltered harbor swim spot with calm, relatively protected waters ideal for beginner to intermediate swimmers. The bay's enclosed nature reduces wave action, though water temperatures are cool year-round in New Zealand's capital. Enter gradually and consider a wetsuit for extended swimming sessions.
