From the air
Cass Bay
A named beach on the city’s shore, at Cass Bay.
Where it sits
The pin sits on the beach’s ground; the strong outline is the suburb behind it, the rest are its neighbours.
Can you swim here
Cass Bay/Motu-kauati-rahi Jetty, the LAWA monitor that is ~200 m away, LAWA’s long-term grade for it is medium risk. 3 more monitored spots sit on its sand.
A water-quality risk grade, not a live verdict, after heavy rain any spot can turn. LAWA (Land Air Water Aotearoa) files the Canterbury sites for Environment Canterbury; its page is the one to check on the day.

A named beach on Christchurch’s shore, at Cass Bay, as the open map records it.
The pin is OpenStreetMap’s own position for the beach, the beach’s own ground, or its centreline’s middle. Neighbours on the register are near it, not the same record.
The record behind this
The position and the names are OpenStreetMap’s, a named beach or island inside the city boundary (ODbL). The dual names are recorded as the map carries them; a pin is the mapper’s position, not a surveyed mark.
