Sumner & Lyttleton

View of Sumner Beach from house


Lyttleton Beach

On Saturday we went to Sumner and Lyttleton to visit some friends that live in Sumner. Sumner is an area within Christchurch about 20 minutes from the city center. Lyttleton is a small town- a suburb you could say- of Christchurch.
Their house in Sumner is on top of a hill with an excellent view! We checked out the beaches around there, and found some really nice spots we haven't been to before. Then we headed to the market in Lyttleton- which had excellent fresh produce and baking. We drove around the Lyttleton area and spotted some ideal calm water for kayaking. We'll have to come back later with a boat!

    Is that the ocean? It looks so calm.

    Yes, it is the ocean. Sumner beach is quite a bit calmer than New Brighton because it is in a bit of a cove. That particular day was much calmer than normal too. Normally you can surf there.

    Lyttleton beach is really calm because it is in an inlet. (No surfing- ever). I think it would make a good swimming spot too- you wouldn't have the waves to contend with.
