This long-run of beachfront very close to Christchurch city centre is notable for having a pier that bisects the beachfront and extends two hundred metres out into the sea (and swimmers beware, jumping off the pier is prohibited). Do watch for lines in the water if swimming close to the pier, as it is used quite heavily by recreational fishermen. New Brighton has toilets, changing rooms, showers, restaurants, and plenty of designated parking spaces.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
