A sandy cove at Breaker Bay on the western entrance to Wellington Harbour, part of the Oruaiti Reserve, formerly known as Point Dorset Recreation Reserve. It is good for walking, picnicking, and watching ships enter and leave the harbour, with views over the ocean.
A short track to the beach starts from the large car park on Breaker Bay Road. A wide track climbs the escarpment to the ridgeline halfway along the beach, and walkers can also go to the harbour entrance and return via the coastal track below the cliffs or along the ridge. The Eastern Walkway starts at the Pass of Branda and has views of the harbour entrance and Pencarrow Head. The ground is uneven on the beach and steep on the headland walks, and dogs must be kept on a leash. The top of the ridge was a Pa site, and gun emplacements and bunkers remain on the ridge and along the coast inside the harbour entrance.
