Wednesday 15 February marked the end of our summer zones for horses and longline fishing. Ngā mihi to everyone who helped keep all beach users safe during this period.

Please continue riding your horses in a safe and careful manner below the high-tide mark, and away from ecological sites such as dunes and estuaries. We also ask people using surfcasters, kontiki, kite, drone and other longline fishing gear to make sure your equipment is always monitored and visible to other beach users.

Summer zones for dogs remain in place until the end of daylight saving (2 April 2023). For more information on summer zones and how we can all look after our local beaches, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
