Auckland

Another of Aucklands  popular West Coast Surf Beach- approx 25 min from the CBD.

On the black sanded, wild West Coast is the popular Bethell’s Beach, only 30 Kilometres from Auckland’s CBD.
Surfers are attracted by its great waves, and activities such as parasailing and hang gliding are also popular, along with fishing from the rocks, surf casting, swimming, sunbathing and bush walks. The beach can attract quite large crowds (well, large by NZ standards!), both local and international, during the summer months to this beautiful area, but you’re sure to find a secluded spot if needed!

The Beach is on the Western side of New Zealands North Island so is exposed to big surf waves from all the way across the Tasman sea to Australia.

This gives the beach fine soft sand, and strong surf waves. This can make the surf dangerous with rip currents dragging the unwary along the coast, or even out to sea.

Whangamata Beach

The 6km of Whangamata’s white, sandy beach offers something for everyone. Considered to be one of the best surf breaks in the country it’s a must visit pilgrimage for serious surfers. At either end of this pristine beach lie estuary’s that offer a quieter, safer swimming choice.

Whangamata Beach is on the Eastern side of New Zealands North Island Coromandel Peninsula, so is exposed to big surf waves from an open ocean to the East.

This gives the beach fine soft white sand, and strong surf waves. This can sometimes make the surf dangerous with rip currents dragging the unwary along the coast, or even out to sea.

Mount Maunganui Beach

Situated in the city of Tauranga, Mt Maunganui is a favourite holiday destination for Kiwi’s. With a white sandy surf beach on the ocean side, and a sheltered, safe inner harbour beach a short stroll away, it is the ideal place to indulge in sunbathing, swimming or surfing.

Mount Maunganui  Beach is on the Eastern side of New Zealands North Island in the Bay of Plenty, just across the Harbour from Tauranga, so is exposed to big surf waves from an open ocean to the East.

This gives the beach fine soft white sand, and strong surf waves. This can sometimes make the surf dangerous with rip currents dragging the unwary along the coast, or even out to sea.

The Harbour Beach is calm and makes safe swimming and boating.

Christchurch Beach

Christchurch has plenty of popular beaches, all within a short distance of the city. From fishing, snorkelling, diving, sunbathing to surfing you can find it all here located! From secluded coves to miles of white sandy beaches there’s bound to be a spot you find perfect to indulge your love of water!

Christchurch has a series of beaches along the long sweeping Eastern side of New Zealands South Island, so is exposed to big surf waves from an open ocean to the East.
This gives the beaches fine soft white sand, and strong surf waves.
This can sometimes make the surf dangerous with rip currents dragging the unwary along the coast, or even out to sea.

Situated on the East Coast of the South Island, with a population of around 300 000, Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island

Known as The Garden City, it offers extensive inner city public, private gardens and parks, with the Avon River slowly meandering though the city centre.

Still apparent, is the that Christchurch was founded by upper class English whose influence is still apparent in the city’s architecture, the very English Christ’s College, Cathedral Square, and punting on the Avon River.

While in the city, why not visit the Antarctic Centre or take a drive out to Akaroa, New Zealand’s “French” settlement where you can enjoy a unique atmosphere, great food, fishing and eco boat trips.
