Welcome

Pukehina Surf Rescue patrols the busy Pukehina Beach, a popular beach that attracts swimmers, surfers and fishermen from throughout the local Bay of Plenty area, and visitors to the area.

The club patrols the beach on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays from December to February.

We are a rescue-focused club, with 60 lifeguards and approx 30 trainees.
