The Pines Beach is a small village situated roughly 4 km east of Kaiapoi in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand. It is 1 km north of the mouth of the Waimakariri River. It takes its name from its close proximity to both a pine forest and the beach.
Due to the relatively small size of The Pines Beach the majority of the area consists of residential housing with only one convenience store and a park called "The Pines Beach Oval"
A small section of land in the The Pines Beach which acts as the town centre. It is in the shape of an oval and has a playground, basketball court, swings, a skatepark, and a BMX track. The Pines Beach Oval is also where the annual gala is held.
