Located 5km west of Foxton is a small township known as Foxton Beach. This beach is frequently visited by locals from Palmerston North and the wider Manawatu area during summer. There is plenty to do from fishing, kite boarding, surfing, swimming at the beach, or enjoying the parks and reserves or walkways or cycleways.
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.
