New Brighton Beach

Reviewed By Strickes - Rotorua District, New Zealand

We visited here for the first time recently. Lovely flat beach, easy walking and lovely views. The walk along the pier and area is easy and well worth it. Well maintained area, very popular with people exercising, sight seeing and fishing.
