If you live in Christchurch, you'd know that New Brighton is one the few mini outside-of-the-city trips that you can do that doesn't require a lot of bucks. It's such a peaceful place but it can definitely get worse during winter. In cold weather, people usually take a stroll around the beach with their bodies heavily covered from head to toe. Beach walking during winter is not really everyone's cup of tea, but hey there are plenty of brave ones out there!
Summer is when New Brighton is most crowded. There's always something going on at New Brighton during the summer such as the Guy Fawkes, Kite Festival, Surfing lessons and many more! You can normally find major events around New Zealand through Event Finda.
Tip: If you're looking for a good and cheap bite close to New Brighton beach, there's a decent fish and chips shop in the Carnaby Mall area. It's called "Fish n' Chicken" and you can easily spot the place because it's fairly visible when you enter the parking lot of the Carnaby Mall. It's run by a really friendly Asian family and their servings are massive! Oh, they're quite heavy on the salt so you might need to tell them to put a really tiny amount.
See you on my next blog!
