Where the Avon and Heathcote rivers converge can be found one of the country’s most important wetland regions, and home to a large number of bird species and the Te Huingi Manu Wildlife Refuge. The beaches here are known for gales of a stiff wind, making them top destinations for windsurfers. The park is located on the southwestern side of the New Brighton Spit.
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.
