Visitor Reviews of Foxton Beach

Fullapu Falofasofa from SAMOA writes:

I checked this place out due to reading it supposedly had amazing waves and loads of things to do if the surf was flat. I was extremely disappointed to have booked a 2 week holiday there with my family. When I finally got there the surf for the entire two weeks was the worst waves I have ever seen in my life. I was expecting some decent surf according to the reviews but it was inconsistent, crumbly rubbish. Even when it was supposed to be a good day all it was is gutless close outs dumping on a weak shallow sandy beach.

One of my surfs I was abused and chased from the water by a very angry pack of locals. They threatened to trash my car and give me a beating if they ever saw me there again. The local police were no help and actually told me to leave because they did not want upset the local board riders who were there all year round, and I was only a visitor.

When I had to spend the next week out of the water I found there is nothing to do in this region...absolutely nothing! It was the worst region I have ever visited and I recommend it to everyone who reads this review to stay away from this horrible place.
