Pauani was part of the Beach Hop over the years 2006-2008, and three good years they were too. 

However, road works in 2009 saw this day moved to Tairua, and that was all she wrote.  The closer proximity to the town centre of Tairua saw if swiftly become a favourite to Beach Hoppers, and photographers...

Pauanui though did have its moments, browse through the albums to capture them once again - and if you were there, your car!

Looking through the photos now, as I look to find some samples to put on this page, I remember how beautiful it was on that Pauanui reserve.

Can we have both Pauanui and Tairua at the next Beach Hop please Noddy - lol.
