Lyall Bay, Wellington 6022, New Zealand
Lyall Bay is a bay and a suburb on the south side of the Rongotai isthmus in Wellington, New Zealand.
The bay is a popular surf beach, featuring a breakwater at the eastern end. It has also been the site of surf lifesaving championships, and is home to two surf lifesaving clubs. Lyall Bay is a very popular and safe swimming beach.
The beach is only two thirds of its original size; the construction of Wellington International Airport took away the eastern third of the beach.
