Tairua is a sleepy little seaside town with a population of about 1400. That is until the summer holidays when the population increases to about 14,000. Our secret paradise has been infested by holiday makers! On the positive side though, there are bands on most nights and the place has a fun buzz about it.
I’m pretty lucky that Mum and Dad live here. It’s a wonderful place to spend the summer holidays. Their house overlooks the estuary, and its a 10 min walk to the surf beach. Most of our time has been spent boogie boarding, boating, fishing, bush walking and of course, boozing. Mike and Dad at this moment are putting some fins on my surf ski, which we plan to try out in the surf tomorrow.
Here are a few piccys of Tairua.
