This little beach 30 minutes north of Christchurch is in an area quite badly affected by the earthquakes, however this spot is still untouched and provides a beautiful spot for a day of surfing, swimming and picnicking at the beach.

There's a place for kids to play, and both the sea and the mouth of the Ashley River to swim in as well as popular fishing, camping and surfing spots, so there's pretty much no good excuse not to visit for your next day at the beach.

My favourite beach in Canterbury is Waikuku. Great surf, amazing beaches that go for miles and a service station nearby to grab the obligatory ice cream. This place is perfect for camping and picnicking too.

A superb beach and bbq spot, I love Waikuku for its sandy shores and lovely walks. The beach is perfect for taking a packed lunch or bringing the whole family on a fun-filled day out.

A beautiful little beachside settlement north of Christchurch, it has been quite badly affected by the Canterbury earthquakes. The beach, however, is untouched and is a wonderful place to spend time with the family. Get the kids and friends together and go fishing, camping, surfing and swimming. The beach is your oyster!
