Tauranga City Council's My Summer Beach Base is back and open from today to January 8 offering a varied family-friendly entertainment programme.
The team of Tauranga City Council summer ambassadors would be out and about providing information on summer events and activities, summer safety messages, alcohol-free zones, and recycling initiatives, as well as competitions and giveaways over the summer period.
Tauranga City Council event delivery manager Michaela Blackman said the summer ambassadors would be at the beaches, on the streets and at the local shopping areas.
"They'll be equipped with the popular summer passports with all the information you need to stay safe in the summer season and to make this summer, your summer, " she said.
"They have their home at the My Summer Beach Base at the beach side of Mount Drury - drop into the Beach Base; find some shade, free drinking water and sunscreen; and take the chance to get your summer photo taken.
