Recreation Groups in our Community
Pukehina Surf Rescue Club
Pukehina Surf Lifesaving Club is a voluntary organisation, super active and recognised nationally for their commitment and skill! We are incredibly lucky to have such a strong club in our community.
The HQ is at the northern end of Pukehina Parade and the team have worked incredibly hard over many years to secure funding to build a new base to help better serve the needs of the club and wider community. You can follow building progress from March 2023 on their FB page below!
The Club also run an Annual Street Party and Polar Bear Swim to raise valuable funds for equipment and training - see our Events page for more details :)
Lifeguards are on duty most of the summer and the club has effective rescue equipment. Be safe on the beach - check tides, know what a rip is and swim between the flags! https://www.ripcurrents.com.au/Rip-Currents-Safety.
Members welcomed by contacting their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/pukeh...
There's still time to support the surf club build so please reach out if you can help, or would like to donate.
