Crowds descend on Titahi Bay

Thousands of people have been hitting beaches around the Wellington region, enjoying the long spell of warm, dry weather.

Titahi Bay proved to be one of the most popular spots, as Titahi Bay man Tom Russell’s photo shows.

Vicki Truyens also sent us a beach photo. Her photo of people cooling off at the beach near Dolly Varden on Valentine’s Day is on our Facebook page.
