Scarborough Beach Christchurch

Scarborough also has a 1.25 km promenade ending at Cave Rock good facilities a beach cafe and a great kid’s paddling pool.

This is one of the parks in Christchurch that family's love to use behind the beach along with the paddling pool there is a playground and picnic area with public BBQ's fantastic place to take the family. Was always a favorite with my children and we had many a long day enjoying this beach.

Scarborough Christchurch has always been a very popular Surfing beach and can be great for the longboard producing great suitable surf.

In my day you always checked Scarborough out first before heading over the hill to Taylors Mistake it is a sandy beach break with both right and left-handers. When it's working Scarborough offers good clean waves, often fat or soft, which cater perfectly to long boarders and beginners. On occasion you can also find bigger swell with the rare hollow wave.

Scarborough is more sheltered from the predominant easterly wind keeping the surf in better shape. Suitable for all surfers. Scarborough is very popular in the Summer and can become crowded understand the rules keep an eye out for swimmers.
