Surf Patrols

Waihi Surf Lifesaving Club not only provides beach patrols from Labour Weekend - Easter but organises events such as the New Year's Day Beach Sports, fun runs, sand castle competitions and a talent quest/ beauty contest at New Year. The traditional beach sports with fun events for all ages are the longest running sports of their kind in New Zealand.

Surf patrols also operate at the Bowentown (southern) end of the beach over the peak summer holiday period.
