Brighton is a small seaside town within the city limits of Dunedin, in New Zealand's South Island. It is located 20 kilometres southwest from the city centre.
NewBrighton is a coastal suburb of Christchurch, NewZealand, located to the east of the city centre.
Named for NewBrighton in England, it is frequently referred to simply as Brighton, (occasionally leading to confusion with the town of Brighton, near Dunedin).
The suburb is divided into three sections spread along the southern coast of Pegasus Bay, known simply as North NewBrighton, NewBrighton, and South NewBrighton, which lies at the northern end of a narrow peninsula between the bay and the estuary of the Avon River.
