New Brighton Beach

We thought we'd miss Sumner beach, but now we've been using Brighton beach we actually prefer it! It's so long and deserted most of the time. There's a great bike track along the dunes which goes north towards Bottle Lake Forest Park which has km's of mountain bike and walking tracks. http://www.ccc.govt.nz/Parks/NaturalAreas/bottlelake_recreation.asp

The beach is a 0.8km walk from the house through Rawhiti Domain (our local park), across Marine Parade and over the dunes.

This first picture is looking north along the beach towards the pier. The second is taken from north of the pier looking south with Scarborough Hills / Banks Peninsula hills in the background. You can see the pier in the high resolution version.
