Palliser Bay is at the southern end of the North Island of New Zealand, to the southeast of Wellington. It runs for 40 km along the Cook Strait coast from Turakirae Head at the southern end of the Remutaka Ranges to Cape Palliser, the North Island's southernmost point. The coastline is exposed to the weather and winds.

Inland from the bay is the plain of the Ruamāhanga River, which has its outflow in the bay. This river flows through Lake Wairarapa, 10 km from the coast.
