BANKS PENINSULA: A GUIDE TO THE BAYS AND BEACHES, ALL WALKING TRACKS

With fine beaches and bays the peninsula is something of a recreational playground for Christchurch people, and provides a good day out at a reasonable distance from the city. There are notes on all the popular beaches, and what facilities are available.

Sea-cliffs, tussock ridgelines, volcanic rock outcrops and isolated stands of native forest typify the diversity of walking on the peninsula. There are many small bush reserves and a growing number of walking tracks.

This booklet includes all the known public walking tracks, including Pigeon Bay, Orton Bradley, the Summit walking track network and Hinewai Reserve.

Getting around the peninsula can be exciting, and people heading off for a daywalk should allow plenty of time for the twist and twine of a typical peninsula road. The views are often unexpected and spectacular, as can be the weather.
