All around the Wellington coastline are small suburbs seemingly molded on to the rocks and in to the crevices. Two of these are Island Bay and Owhiro Bay. Despite these two places being popular places to live, as you'll see in the photos, they still look quite unspoilt. In fact, there's a marine reserve in this area [the name of it escapes me right now] which helps with the "underwater bits" as well.
Island Bay is most recognisable for the small island just a 100 meters or so off shore - Owhiro Bay has a comparatively sheltered area - popular with boaties and swimmers [in summer at least]. Even in winter/ spring [as it is now down this part of the world] these can be spectacular places to visit.
