Titahi Bay
Titahi Beach is a popular location and there is a solid residential base that provides many of the beaches users. It is very common to have large numbers of people swimming during the summer months and there are good numbers of surfers in the water whenever there is a wave breaking. The beach although not commonly having powerful waves or strong rips is still dangerous for inexperienced beach users and patrons should remain in the patrolled area and seek advice from the Lifeguards in doubt.

Location
Titahi Bay is located 4 kilometres north of Porirua City and 25 kilometres north of Wellington City centre. Titahi Bay is on the outer neck of the Porirua Harbour. Titahi Bay is 1 kilometre from end to end and forms a pleasant bay. Titahi Bay Surf Life Saving Club is located in the centre of the bay. Most of the other surrounding land is taken up by residential housing. There is a large rocky cliff headland at the southern end and a small rocky headland at the northern end. The beach is a hard pack golden sand that can be easily driven onto. There are a large amount of small multi coloured boat sheds at the southern end and a few at the northern end of the bay.
Beach Water Quality
Many councils provide the results of their weekly monitoring. This lets people know what the most recent bacteria levels were. Remember, even sites with low risk can be unsuitable to swim at from time to time and we recommend that you avoid swimming for 48 hours after heavy rainfall.
