Welcome to Bethells Beach SLSP!
Based on Aucklands rugged West Coast Bethells Beach is well worth a visit for both locals and tourists.
The scene of many TV programs, movies and adverts such as Xena Warrior Princess, Ira Goldstien's Fastest Idiot ad and many other media productions, Bethells Beach offers an unspoilt West Coast landscape.
During the summer months Bethells Beach Surf Life Saving Patrol provides Surf Life services to protect the public visiting Bethells Beach.
Volunteer lifeguards are rostered on every weekend and public holiday between October and April with paid Regional Guards filling in the week days during the peak Christmas period.

Commendations for Rescue!
James Lea and Mason Dray-Hogg were awarded commendations at the Northern Region Awards of Excellence for
their efforts to save the life of a rock-fisherman in December last year.
In large surf two fishermen were swept off the rocks at ‘the cable’ at
Bethells. James jumped from an inflatable rescue boat and made a rock landing
in heavy conditions, pulling one unconscious man to a secure part of the rocks
and starting CPR. He was soon joined by Mason and the two continued until
a paramedic was winched to them.
