Wellington's Natural Wonders

Wellington's landscape is defined by its dramatic interaction between land and sea. This collection highlights geological rarities like the Putangirua Pinnacles' badlands erosion and the raised beach platforms of Turakirae Head. Coastal landmarks include Cape Palliser, the North Island's southernmost point, and the historic Castlepoint Lighthouse. From the tidal inlets of Porirua Harbour to the native bush-clad Korokoro waterfall and the distinctively weathered Honeycomb Rock, these sites showcase the region's diverse geomorphology and rugged southwestern shoreline.
