KAIAUA BEACH RACES
We are fortunate to have an inside look at the running of the annual beach races held early in the New Year at Kaiaua Beach. This has long been regarded as one of the major functions on the Coast's Christmas/ New Years Calendar and very popular with the horsemen and women who participate.
