Sumner Beach

#summervacay Sumner Beach, just a short drive from Christchurch’s city center, is a classic Kiwi beach escape. It’s a favorite for summer days thanks to its safe swimming, gentle surf, and laid-back atmosphere. The promenade is dotted with ice cream shops, cafés, and fish & chip spots, making it great for families and couples. There’s also an iconic cave walk and great rock formations to explore at low tide. With plenty of sunshine, soft sand, and an easy vibe, Sumner is perfect for a beach day that blends natural beauty with local charm.
