    • Christchurch New Brighton Pier..
  • New Brighton Beach from the pier

    • New Brighton beach is where a lot of Christchurcher's go to see the first sunrise of the New Year and the New Brighton Pier see's its largest number of visitors on this occasion. Apart from that it is nothing too exciting. The beach is not the most beautiful, though aparently good for surfing (i was there in mid-winter and there were at least 12 semi-insane surfers in the water!). The Pier was constructed in 1894 but demolished in 1964 and rebuilt from funds the community raised in 1997. The whole place still has a feel of an out-dated family holiday place. The shopping mall has a good health food shop but the other shops aren't too exciting.

    • The library at New Brighton beach is very cool. The best thing i found about the whole place. The whole eastern wall is glass and comfortable chairs are lined up along it facing out so you can sit back, relax with a book and look out over the sea!

     I visit an elderly friend in Brigton each time I'm in C'C. Next time I'm definitely going to make time for that wetland area - I love areas like that. Thanks for the tip. leyle
