Mahina Bay is a sheltered cove in Lower Hutt, on the harbour side of the Wellington region. Its water is calm and the shore is pebbled, and the listing describes it as a place for intimate swimming on settled days, away from the crowds of Wellington.
Because the bay is sheltered, its calm water suits swimmers when the weather is settled. It is a quiet alternative to the busier city beaches for anyone who wants a short swim near the harbour.
