Porangahau River is popular for swimming, boating, water skiing and jet skiing. There are designated areas for these activities - look for the sign at the boat ramp alongside the bridge over the river.
Further down the road is Porangahau Beach, popular for swimming and other activities. The nearby township has a store and other services.
This site has permanent signage because water quality criteria can often be exceeded. Recreational water quality re-sampling from the Monitoring team does not occur here.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
