Why not! Brighton is just minutes away from Christchurch city centre. This beachside suburb offers fantastic beach activities from surfing and kayaking, to windsurfing and kite-boarding in the local estuary. Lessons and equipment hire are available from local operators. Brighton Pier Why not spend some time fishing from Brighton's famous pier? Popular with locals and visitors alike, it's a great spot to spend the day fishing. Even if the wind picks up and the fish aren't biting, you can relax in the library or café at the other end of the pier. If water sports or fishing aren't your thing you can simply relax on Canterbury's best beach or visit nearby Bottle Lake for walks and mountain biking (bike hire is available from the hostel). And there's more in and around Brighton... golf courses, tennis courts, a skate park, bars, shops, QEII Sports Centre.
