Which is New Zealands most loved beach?
Were blessed with hundreds of stunning beaches in New Zealand but which is the best? Over the next four weeks, the AA is asking Kiwis to decide just which beach is most loved.
AA was behind the 101 Must Dos For Kiwis a celebration of the best this country has to offer which attracted more than 260,000 votes.
Now AA is asking Kiwis to champion their favourite beaches by voting for them pitting beach against beach.
AA General Manager Membership and Brand Dougal Swift says Kiwis are passionate about beaches, with many holidaying at their favourite beach every year.
Weve all got wonderful beach memories and more often than not, especially during the summer, were thinking about being there if were stuck somewhere else, Mr Swift says.
Wed love to see more Kiwis holidaying at home and enjoying everything our wonderful country has to offer, so this campaign is designed to find our most loved beaches and maybe give people some new local favourites to explore.
From today, people can vote for their favourite beaches in each region on the AAs Facebook page.
And if a favourite beach isnt there, anyone can suggest a beach to include and upload a photo if they have one, and it will be added to the mix.
Mr Swift says the first phase of voting will continue for three weeks after which just 20 beaches will remain.
The rest is here:
