Wellington, New Zealand's capital city, is located at the extreme southern end of the North Island. The city lies on the west side of huge Wellington Harbour, the mouth of which is on the strait between the North Island and the South Island. Breaker Bay Beach is a south-facing beach located on the western side of the mouth of Wellington Harbour in the southern suburb of Seatoun (on Miramar Peninsula). Nudity is freely tolerated on the east end of this beach, which is the only well-established nude beach in the metro Wellington area.

At the parking area, you will be at the far western end of the beach. Looking to the east (to the left when facing the water), about a third of the way across the beach you will see a prominent rocky outcropping that has large pass-through hole at its base. This hole is a natural arched portal to the other side of the beach, which is where nudists gather. You can either go through the hole or skirt around the rock. The distance from the hole in the rock to the far east end of the beach is a little over 400 meters, and there may be several dozen nudists on this part of the beach on peak summer days, but the beach rarely gets crowded.

Breaker Bay Beach affords fantastic views of the rugged coastal mountains on the other side of the mouth of the bay, and you can watch ships entering and exiting Wellington Harbour.
