Judges Bay Reserve
A tiny sheltered bay hidden under the railway line, a minute from Parnell Baths.
A pocket of lawn and shingle below the rose gardens, with the saltwater baths and St Stephens Chapel a minute away. People swim, paddle, and jump off the pontoon. It stays calm when the rest of the harbour won't. Mostly locals. You can also walk in over the bridge from Tāmaki Drive.
