Godley Beach Park is a walking track in Sumner, Christchurch, rated 4.8 on Google from 36 reviews. Reviews praise the coastal views and the quiet, and mention sheep on the track, so dogs need to be kept on a leash.
The loop track around Awaroa/Godley Head has coastal views and World War II sites, including Taylor Battery, Scott's Cabin and observation posts. The track is gravel with steady ups and downs and high cliffs, and it is signposted from the Taylors Mistake car park. Mountain bikes are not permitted, and the Department of Conservation asks that dogs are kept on a leash.
For walkers in Sumner and across Christchurch who want coastal views and a walk with some history, this track is a good half-day out, with the weather checked first.
