One of the larger bays in Lyttelton Harbour, this is a popular choice for those escaping the hubbub of Christchurch. There is good fishing from the long wooden jetty, which juts 100 meters into the bay. Graceful poplar trees line the perimeter of the bay and a walking track leads from the bottom of Jetty Road around to Sandy Beach, where there is safe, if somewhat tidal, swimming. There are good views of the harbor from Faulkner's Track, which climbs the steep hill behind the village from Faulkner's Lane. The Smuggler's Rest pub provides refreshments for thirsty beachcombers.
