Christchurch New Brighton is an eastern suburb with an 18 kilometre sandy beach compiling of South New Brighton, New Brighton and North New Brighton on toward the Spencer Park Beach at the Waimakariri River Mouth .
Walk and cycle tracks can take you from New Brighton to the river mouth.

A Christchurch icon and holds a lot of memories for most people living in the city especially for those that remember the Saturday shopping in the New Brighton mall (see history of New Brighton shopping) part of early Christchurch culture.

See the rebuilt New Brighton Pier or the famous Whale Pool that has been relocated to the new playground that sits just a little north of New Brighton Library.

New Brighton Beach (web cam) has a Surf Life Saving Club and has surf patrol volunteers monitoring the beach during certain times of the year. Remember to swim between the flags.

Surf at this beach can be varible, mostly due to summer on shore winds, however it can still produce a nice swell and is a good learner location. Just watch out for swimmers and fishing lines near the Pier.
