People of Beach Hop 25 Whangamata, March 26 to 30, 2025

A record number of people - entrants, non-entrants and spectators - converged on Whangamata for Beach Hop’s 25th anniversary, and Chairman Noddy Watt’s swansong. NZ Petrolhead and NZ Rodder’s photographers were all over Waihi, Pauanui, Onemana and Whangamata capturing images of Beach Hoppers having the best time. (Kerry Keeys and Alistair Davidson pics)
