Taylor's Mistake is located a short drive over the hill from Sumner. Great place to swim, sunbathe and explore the rocky shoreline cliffs and caves.

Taylor's Mistake has a daily surf life saving patrol operating over the summer months.

The fine, black sand is perfect for sand castle and you can wander off along the cliff top track leading from Taylor's Mistake to the Boulder Beach, just around the headland.

A short drive from Sumner Beach, Taylor’s Mistake is an absolute classic Canterbury beach. A very secluded area of Christchurch, it’s the best spot for catching a wave or some rays.
