Upper Hutt上的海滩

This beach offers a stunning view and is perfect for those who love taking long walks along the shore.

You may not be able to swim, but this beach is perfect for unwinding and soaking up the beautiful views of the outdoors.

Well, I suppose it all depends on what you're looking for in a beach. It's long, easy to get to, dog-friendly, has a great view, and is close to the Jackson Street shops. However, coming from Christchurch, I have to say that Petone Beach doesn't quite measure up to Sumner or New Brighton beaches, which I consider to be 5-star beaches. When I think of a beach, I think of sunbathing, playing in the sand, and swimming as my top priorities. While Petone Beach does offer easy access to water, shops, a nice view, and space for dogs, the sand is full of shells, broken shells, and sticks, making it difficult to walk barefoot. The water may be warm, but it's visibly dirty. Personally, I don't think it deserves more than 3 stars. However, it's great for running and the view is absolutely stunning.
