NORTHLAND LAND OWNERS BLOCK VEHICLE ACCESS TO MAITAI BAY BEACH AMID 'HOON' CONCERNS
Land owners have closed a popular Far North bay to vehicles after complaints about bad driver behaviour on the beach.
Waikato Bay on the Karikari Peninsula, next to the Department of Conservation campsite at Maitai Bay, is normally a busy boat-launching site in summer.
However, a gate giving vehicle access to the beach was locked by the Waitai Raharuhi Whānau Trust on December 19 and is not due to re-open until January 30.
The closure may complicate the plans of some holidaymakers who will have to launch their boats from Rangiputa, Perihipe or Tokerau Beach instead.
The closure is in response to what the trust says are "numerous instances of dangerous and irresponsible driving on the beach"........
