New Brighton is a coastal suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand, to the east of the city centre.
It was originally a distinct coastal village, separated from the then outer suburbs of Christchurch by the swampy areas adjoining the Avon River. However, urban expansion, land reclamation and drainage have led to Brighton being swallowed by Christchurch City. It is named after New Brighton in England. The Avon River flows through Christchurch to New Brighton and the sea. There’s a bike path along the Avon all the way to New Brighton. The surf beach stretches 18 km from the Waimakariri River mouth in the north, to the Spit in the south.

That is a most impressive beach. (Love the light on the sanddunes and on the water… and then the fading of the dramatic far hills..)
