Oriental Bay is a suburb of Wellington , the Capital City of New Zealand . Located close to the CBD on Wellington Harbour , it has the closest beach to the centre of the city and is thus a popular spot both for living and for visiting.

Oriental Bay is situated against the northern slope of Wellington , 1.5 km southeast of the city centre, at the start of a coastal route which continues past Hataitai round Evans Bay . The suburb was named after one of the first ships to bring settlers to Wellington.
