Rona Bay is a sand and pebble beach in Eastbourne, Lower Hutt, backed by sand hills and a large park. It is a family beach, with changing facilities, toilets, a playground and a pool on the site, and plenty of parking.
Water quality is checked weekly from November to March by the Greater Wellington Regional Council, and the swim icon on the listing shows the latest result. Swimmers are advised to stay out of the water for two to three days after heavy rain, and to check that they can see their toes in knee-deep water. The beach is at 6 Marine Parade, and the nearby Days Bay and Robinson Bay are also monitored sites.
