Beach Hop Retro Beauty Show

Saturday is the best day for visitors – the Grand Parade, Junkyard Fashion Show, Hop Idol finals and Retro Beauty Show are a few of the events on the schedule. Accommodation may be scarce but Whangamata is easily reached in a couple of hours from Auckland, Tauranga and Rotorua.

If you’re a fan of classic cars and hot rods don’t miss it, you may even be able to take home more than Beach Hop memories – you could win either a Ford Falcon Futura, Ranchero or Retro Caravan.
