It's a lovely trip from Christchurch to Diamond Harbour on the ferry - cheap, or even free for some. Once there, you can go on a few walks along the Coastal Cliff Reserve. The tracks are not particularly well marked, and should not be undertaken unless you are sure of foot. Would probably be a problem in wet weather. Poorly signposted, unfortunately, and it would be easy to take a wrong turn. So be careful. However, the views are lovely and it's a great day trip from Christchurch.

Nice spot. A lot of campervans in the carpark. So must be a greatvspot to overnight. Public toilets and great walks and scenery.

A serene and picturesque spot, delightfully uncrowded even on weekends, perhaps a hidden gem cherished by locals. The coastline offers a mostly flat and narrow road (which can extend to > 2hrs return), perfect for leisurely strolls, with occasional glimpses of climbers tackling the cliffs.
