About Us
Mairangi Bay Surf Lifesaving Club Incorporated
(Mairangi Bay) is a member club of Surf Life Saving Northern Region, a volunteer organisation which provides surf rescue patrols from Raglan in the south to Kaitaia in the North. Mairangi Bay is one of 75 lifesaving clubs in New Zealand all of which are members of the national body Surf Lifesaving New Zealand.
Our mission is “to prevent loss of life and ensure safety in and around the aquatic environment by providing lifeguard services and education”.
Mairangi Bay along with other lifesaving clubs provides an essential community service and form part of the New Zealand’s public Icon known as Surf Lifesaving New Zealand.
In partnership with North Shore City Council and Surf Life Saving Northern Region, Mairangi Bay has expanded its patrol locations and season length. Mairangi Bay now provides 7 day a week lifeguard patrols at Long Bay, Browns Bay, Mairangi Bay, Milford and Takapuna. From the Monday before Christmas Day through to the Sunday after Waitangi Day in February.
Lifeguard towers are placed on our neighbouring beaches to provide a greater capacity to observe a wider distance of beach. The iconic red and yellow patrol flags were added to all locations, erecting the international symbol of lifesaving which had not flown at some of these beaches for over 30 years.
Mairangi Bay also has a very successful Junior membership programme - see the
