Beach Info
Pukehina Beach has a well-established user base and this number is magnified during the summer months with a full motor camp. Swimmers are advised to use the northern end of the beach as waves break more evenly. The whole beach frequently gets waves and when surf is over a metre the entire beach is hazardous. Surfing and fishing are popular at the northern end around the estuary mouth and people using this area should be very careful. Pukehina Beach has a Lifeguarding service and all beach patrons should swim between the flags and listen to advice of the Lifeguards.
