Beach Info
Sumner is a popular spot for many recreational activities for residents of Christchurch and visitors to the area, particularly in summer when the population swells considerably. The facilities on and around the beach are excellent. There are hazardous rip currents to be wary of, and lifeguards patrol the area during the summer weekends and during the week over the school holiday break.
