Heavenly when sunny. Go there. Ace swimming.Take the kids, take your friends, take the frisbee and DO remember the suncream! LOL!
Beautiful beach.... a definite place to go.. it was windy the day we went so sand was flying everywhere, so we didn't stay long... but otherwise, a most amazing place to be!
On a beautiful day this is a quiet place to enjoy the view. The water is lovely and clear and there is a couple of fabulous cafes nearby.
on a good day, a number of people populate this beach.On a bad day, U R on your own!Just another beach, a little out of the city!
Scorching Bay is great place on a warm day, especially if there is a northerly wind. We enjoyed a swim in brilliant sunny conditions (although our wetsuits made it easier to stay in the water for a while without getting chilled). We got there early, while there were few others about, and it was peaceful and calm. It is renowned for getting really busy during the day when the weather is fine. The views across the harbour in the early morning were excellent, and after a (cold but refreshing ) shower in front of the changing rooms, we enjoyed a coffee and some café food at Scorch O Rama.
You must drive around the tourist route from Wellington to Scorching bay. You pass through some lovely places and scenery, it will take you about 30 minutes but it's worth the drive. There is parking along the back of the beach and a lovely cafe called Scorcho rama. The bay is white sand and beautiful blue sea, it's very safe for children with rocks to climb on either end of the beach.
The place to take your visitors, so pleasant and interesting. Keep the afternoon free so you can sit back in the sun and enjoy your visit
A little gem in Miramar - nice beach, cafe and you get a view of the Interislander coming in and out! Great place to hang out with family and friends
after being most underwhelmed by Wellington city, Scorching bay is just what the Dr ordered. Quaint, beautiful views, lovely beachfront and topped off by Scorcherama cafe with great service and food. I'd recommend it for any type of traveller.
Many like to strip and pose on this beach which is ok but not so good for children Many gays seem to get here so if you are that way inclined probably the perfect spot for you Nothing else particularly special about this beach ..... apart from the constantly changing views of boats and ferries going past
