Located in the scenic region of Rarangi, Marlborough, Rarangi Surf Lifesaving Club stands as a beacon of beach safety and community engagement.

Embarking on a journey with our club means joining a vital organisation dedicated to protecting lives along the coast. Surf lifesaving clubs like ours are integral to New Zealand's coastal culture, focusing on preventing drownings and ensuring safe beach experiences through trained volunteers. At Rarangi Surf Lifesaving Club, we patrol Pukatea/Whites Bay during the peak summer months from mid-November to mid-March, with our volunteer lifeguards on duty every Saturday from 13:00 to 17:00, and Sundays and public holidays from 11:00 to 17:00. Our commitment extends beyond patrols, as we nurture the next generation through our Junior Surf program, teaching children critical water safety skills in a fun, sport-oriented environment. This initiative prepares young participants for the Surf Lifeguard Award at age 14, fostering a lifelong connection to the ocean and community service. Additionally, we welcome volunteers of all kinds, offering roles for those aged 14 and above, whether on the beach or in support capacities.
