The water is untamed as it is the open ocean, so if you are coming here for a summer swim it'll be hard to find a day on which it isn't super windy and the water isn't cold- but the pier is a really great place to take a stroll on or fish on. This place is popular for surfing but unless you're sure what you're doing I would advice against braving the waves. The sand is very clean, though, and the pathways on the grassy hills separating the beach from the road are convenient ways to enjoy nature without sand in your shoes.
Beautiful beach in Christchurch and really nice during sunrise and sunset times. Good place to enjoy time with your friends and family.
Something about the New Bright Pier. The infinity sea and the long beach is just stunning. Also the Brighton Libra is a great spot to relax and chill. Highly recommended.
There’s a decent walking track offshore, perfect for an easy stroll along the beach. The pier provides a great spot for fishing.
Beautiful beach, especially at sunrise/sunset. Dog friendly off-leash EXCEPT November-March from 9am to 7pm.nWatch out for blue bottle jellyfish, sometimes there's heaps of them around and are dangerous for humans and dogs.nThere's 2 decent size carparks. Nice café, a library, kids playgrounds, and the hot pools right next to the beach, so plenty of things to do around there too!
