There is somewhere nice in New Brighton to spend your private time relaxing, which is New Brighton Beach. It is about 40 minutes away from the city centre by bike or 15 minutes away by car. I cycled here to see what the beach is like and breathe in some fresh air. So, let me briefly introduce New Brighton Beach.
New Brighton Beach
As you can see, it’s got a long shallow beach where you can go back some distance. I thought it was a great spot for family fun activities because the waves are calm and there are playground right in front of the beach, too.
I enjoyed observing people at the beach and vigorous dogs unleashed, running around. If you are lucky, you might be able to see wild sea lions!
New Brighton Pier
It is an iconic 300-meter-long pier at the beach. You can go to the tip of the pier and look over an infinite ocean view. The view from the pier is more fascinating than from the ground.
The pier seems to be illuminated at night, so check it out when time allows you.
New Brighton Library
After hanging out, pop in the library. There are seats by the windows that offer you a nice ocean view. Reading quietly while looking at the beach is luxurious time. Next to the library, there is also a cafe and a restaurant, so you can literally spend here all day!
I’d like to come back and enjoy swimming on a hot summer day. I can’t wait for summer as a beach freak! If you’re looking for a relaxing spot, I highly recommend heading to New Brighton Beach. You won’t be disappointed!
