What more can one say except that Shag Rock is now about one third it's original height. Whitewash Head in the background with the road that now drops over a cliff.
A line of shipping containers along the base of the cliffs in Sumner protects the road from rockfalls. In the foreground on the right is what remains of Shag Rock.

The jetty in the South New Brighton Domain was rebuilt a few years ago. It was straight and level till the earthquakes. Has been closed for 2½ years now. The shags like it though!
The small wharf area of the now gone Pleasant Point Yacht Club has already been taken over by the Pied Shags (cormorants).
It is under water now except for low tide. Note the dead pine tree in background. Many have died because of the salt water their roots are in.
