Pegasus Bay is well sheltered from S swells by the Banks Peninsula, but Gore Bay is outside the shadow and picks up all available swell from all directions. Gets popular on summer weekends and produces many peaks along its 3km (5mi) stretch.
From Christchurch head north on State Highway 1. When you get to Domett turn right onto Hururnui Mouth Road, then turn left onto Cathedral Road, up over the over to Gore Bay. Alternatively you can continue into Cheviot and turn right onto Gore Bay Road which will also get to Gore Bay. There are a couple of Camping grounds in Gore Bay if you want to stay longer.
Choice of campgrounds and some beach facilities.
