KAIAUA BEACH RACES

×

The annual Kaiaua beach races have been a part of our Christmas - New Year ritual for the past 24 years. The sponsored races always attract a large number of punters and others who just enjoy an entertaining day at a beautiful beach. The gate is manned by the Tolaga Bay Lions and all profits go back into the community.
