Favorite thing: Gisbornes main attraction has to the sweeping sandy beaches that surround the district.
Most of the city beaches provide safe swimming but the beach is also patrolled by lifeguards to be on the safe side.
Surfing is very popular here but the best surfing spots are 'up the coast', about a 10 -15 minute drive from the city.
