A volunteer surf life saving club on Frazer Reserve at Omaha Beach, about 45 minutes north of Auckland. The club was founded in 1988 to prevent drowning and injury, and it runs volunteer lifeguard patrols on the beach from Labour Weekend to Easter. The first patrol of the 2026/27 season is on Labour Weekend, from Saturday 24 to Monday 26 October 2026.
The beach has 3.9km of sand reached through 22 walkways, and on a busy summer day more than 3,000 people may be on it. Patrols watch the flagged area first. The club also maintains rescue equipment, runs surf education and hosts surf sports events, and it has a junior surf division that runs from 8 November 2026. The club was named Northern Region Club of the Year for 2021/22 and 2024/25.
Patrol times can be checked by phone on 021 800 470 or 09 422 7022. In an emergency, dial 111. The club is non-profit, and its members volunteer their time for the beach and the community. Our pick in Omaha for a family that wants to learn to swim, surf and help on the beach.
