300m pier which struts out into Pegasus Bay.
4 Rivers flow into the bay from north to south they are:
Waipara River
Ashley River
Waimakariri River
Avon River and Heathcote River via the Avon Heathcote Estuary.
The pier was built originally in 1894 and was demolished in 1964.
$4 million was raised by the council and community funds to build a new pier, and in 1987 it was opened. You can get good views of the ocean at the end.
There is a library at the beginning of the pier and a cafe underneath.
