Generations of Cantabrians have promenaded down the Esplanade, which overlooks this idyllic stretch of ocean renowned for safe swimming and good surfing.

Dominating this patrolled beach is Cave Rock, a protrusion of volcanic stone through which the sea has eroded a large cavern. You can walk right through the cave at low tide to an assortment of limpet-encrusted rock pools, each one a tiny, self-contained ecosystem. Beware of deep holes scoured around some rocks.

Toilets and changing sheds are available. There are also plenty of cafes and stores on The Esplanade and in nearby Sumner village.

Wanting to crasp the final summer days before winter sets in? Well you better head down to Sumner Beach these school holidays and grab an ice cream to chow down on with the kids. If you're feeling brave, take a dip in the ocean or head to one of the many popular cafes in the Sumner suburb.

    A popular beach close to central Christchurch, Sumner Beach heaves in the middle of summer. In the quieter winter months the beach is still a great place to go for a stroll with friends and dogs. Sumner Village also offers the opportunity to grab a coffee or drink.

      Great beach for letting the kids play and paddle in the sea with an awesome ice cream shop nearby, what more do you need!

        Take a stroll down the esplanade in Sumner with an ice cream in hand

          Yet another safe and family friendly beach to enjoy - stay between the flags though as there can sometimes be a bit of a strong rip! Enjoy an ice cream with the kids or a lovely platter and a glass of vino along the beach front http://sumnervillage.co.nz/
