Breaker Bay is another one of those hidden secrets around Wellingtons eastern bays. It features a sheltered beach at one end for swimmers and sunbathers (and the occasional nudists!), at other end is a popular dive entry point. The car park near the Southern entrance to the bay is a great spot from which one can 'chill out' and watch the ferries and leisure boats go in and out of Wellington harbor.

Much of the beach is made up of fine, wheel eating sand and can be quite taxing on the batteries, not to mention, interesting to glide through! Patience and good balance are important as a momentary lapse of attention can be painful.
This was shot from the car park and gives and 'over view' of the beach and the path leading up to the lookout.
One the interesting features here is the 'hole' in the rock which can be seen in the following clip.
Getting around on the sand was a real struggle for the Segway, chewing through a 'bar' per kilometer, but no problem for the Betty, the Little Black Dog, seen recharging at the top of the lookout.
Also a the top we found these guys watching over the entrance to Wellington harbor.
And here's a view from top........
And....Segway at rest!
