A rahui has been set up at Wellington’s Lyall Bay Beach in response to a woman’s untimely passing at the popular swimming and surfing spot.
Lyall Bay is a bay and a suburb on the south side of the Rongotai isthmus in Wellington, New Zealand. The bay has a breakwater at the eastern end and is a well-liked surf beach. There are two surf lifesaving clubs there, and it has hosted competitions in the sport.
It is a well-liked and secure swimming area. Due to the removal of the eastern third of the beach during the construction of Wellington International Airport, the beach is now just two-thirds of its previous size.
A body has been discovered on July 1 on the beach near Maranui Cafe. Following the discovery, a rahui also has been set up in the area.
