Oriental Bay is a bay and suburb of Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. Noted for being both a popular beach and a luxurious centre of affluence in the city, it is located close to the Central Business District on Wellington Harbour. In the summer months, Oriental Bay becomes a hive of activity. The beach seems covered with swimmers, party goers and families. The Carter Fountain is a distinctive feature in the Bay, as is the wooden barge which is often covered in swimmers. A small section of the bay that lies beside Freyberg pool is known as Freyberg Bay, after Lord Freyberg.

  • Oriental Bay ist sowohl der Name einer Bucht als auch des an ihr gelegenen Stadtteils von Wellington in Neuseeland. Mit seiner Lage nahe dem zentralen Geschäftsviertel am Wellington Harbour hat es den zum Stadtzentrum nächstgelegenen Strand und ist daher ein beliebter Ort zum Wohnen und für Besuche. Zudem ist der einzige Badestrand in der Gegend, der sich Richtung Norden und also der Sonne entgegen öffnet. Oriental Bay liegt am Nordhang des Mount Victoria, 1,5 km südöstlich vom Stadtzentrum. Es ist Beginn einer Küstenstraße, die über um die Evans Bay führt. Nördlich des Ortes liegt der Hafen von Wellington, im Osten der Stadtteil Roseneath, im Westen . Die Bucht wurde nach einem der ersten Schiffe benannt, die Siedler nach Wellington brachten. Beim Zensus 2006 hatte Oriental Bay etwas mehr als 1000 Einwohner. Der Carter Fountain in der Bucht ist ein Wahrzeichen. * Strand bei Oriental Bay * Oriental Bay von Queens Wharf * Carter Fountain * Wellington von der Oriental Bay gesehen * Feuerwerk über der Oriental Bay (de)
  • Oriental Bay is a bay and suburb of Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. Noted for being both a popular beach and a luxurious centre of affluence in the city, it is located close to the Central Business District on Wellington Harbour. It has the closest beach to the central city and is thus a common destination for locals, who swarm here especially in the warmer months (December to March). Painted ladies and other historic houses, such as those in distinctly Wellingtonian streamline moderne style, are prominent alongside and up into the hills that face the bay. Situated against the northern slope of Mount Victoria, the suburb lies 1.5 kilometres southeast of the city centre, at the start of a coastal route which continues past Hataitai around Evans Bay. Originally named Duppa Bay, after its sole original resident George Duppa, in 1843 it was rechristened after one of the first ships to bring settlers to Wellington- the Oriental. Originally described as a remote "dreary-looking spot" of rocks lying between cliffs and the sea used primarily for quarantining foreigners, it has undergone considerable renovation since colonisation's early stages. Many landmarks were built over the 20th century, such as the grand streamlined moderne houses like the Olympus building and the Anscombe Apartments, and the modernist Freyberg pool built in the 1960s (which jets out onto the harbour and is named about Lord Freyberg, who adored the beach as a young man). However, the beach's greatest renovation came in 2004, when 22,000 tonnes of sand was shipped especially from Golden Bay to rebuild the beach, which had become worn down over many years. In the summer months, Oriental Bay becomes a hive of activity. The beach seems covered with swimmers, party goers and families. The Carter Fountain is a distinctive feature in the Bay, as is the wooden barge which is often covered in swimmers. A small section of the bay that lies beside Freyberg pool is known as Freyberg Bay, after Lord Freyberg. (en)
