This impressive 300 metre concrete structure strides boldly into the ocean, making you feel wonderfully close to the sea and even part of it.nnThe salt spray, the wind, and the endless horizon transport you far from the busy beachfront.nnIt is a simple yet powerful experience, and something you absolutely should visit if you are in Christchurch.

Very quaint quiet beachside town, very beautiful murals all around, lots of businesses are closed but they look to be still rebuilding the area. Iconic pier attached to the New Brighton Library, people were fishing and surfing. Really interesting place to visit, will definitely be back again in the future or during a busy week to see what else is hiding for us to discover.
Impressive piers to have a walk or fishing! It offers great views for the surroundings and good to see different types of seagulls or alike.
Either love it or hate it, it's either hot and calm or blowing your legs off with that easterly. Parking close by, but didn't leave valuables in car. Great place to get out over the sea, the waves...yes best wharf, but birds, fishing smells and that wind, why??? . My kids love it, watching the waves, seagulls and smell....yup blows cobwebs - and the spiders - away! . Bathrooms in the library which is a great place to also sit and watch....lol.
