About 340 Degrees Alps and Sea

340 Degrees Alps and Sea is a coastal destination situated in Mount Pleasant, Christchurch, holding a perfect 5.0 rating from 10 Google reviews.

Visiting an estuary or harbourside spot along the Christchurch coastline offers a distinctly different pace from the open surf breaks down at Sumner. Good local beach spots provide sheltered shoreline for walking, paddle boarding, or simply pausing to take in panoramic outlooks across the water towards the Southern Alps. Regulars tend to time their visits around the tidal flow, as outgoing water reveals expansive tidal flats while high tide brings the water right up to the coastal path. Wind direction also matters around the Port Hills, where hillsides can shelter quiet bays from southerlies or catch strong easterly sea breezes.

It offers locals and visitors an exceptional vantage point to enjoy the coast from Mount Pleasant.
