What travellers are saying
- Sam9 contributionsPublic transport from CBD is available. Many restaurants and Ice cream parlors make the place more interesting.Written 20 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- C MAuckland Central, New Zealand724 contributionsNew Brighton is really just a short drive from the Christchurch CBD but it does feel a world away with its seaside resort feel. There is a nice enough beach, good pier and a cafe, with a few shops and supermarket just around the corner. It does feel like another era, in a good way. A nice way to spend some relaxing time in Christchurch.
There is a good playground nearby too.
Well worth a visit.Written 24 January 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Naina-DamaniLondon, UK1,032 contributionsCorsair Bay is a small Bay and mostly Shelly beach area suitable for a quiet sheltered swimming for young family.Written 12 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- teamtilbrookChristchurch34 contributionsIt's amazing how you forget what's in your back yard .I'm christchurch east born and breed .and the beach is still an amazing place to seek comfort with a good friend as the water laps at your legs and the sun warns your soul . The beach was clean with just the normal sea things washed up .And the surf club on duty .so go enjoy what's on your back yard at the beachWritten 17 January 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- JodieSLindsayNew Zealand16 contributionsI have been to this beach a few times since coming to NZ. It is such a beautiful long beach.
I would advise to go on a day that is not so windy, as it is very open and can get pretty strong.
Good for long walks, lots of drift wood to sit on. Dog friendly.Written 9 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
