Just 12 km or approximately 20 minutes from Christchurch City is Sumner.
Sumner is a safe swimming beach and one of Christchurch's most popular destinations. Sandy shores, designated surf lifesaving areas during the summer months, and activities such as beach volleyball make it a mecca for ocean lovers.
This quaint seaside village also offers a number of cafés, restaurants, bakeries, a supermarket and boutique shops. Nearby, Ferrymead also offers a great choice of design stores.
