Beach Hop 2010 is the 10th anniversary of this spectacular event. It is to be held in Whangamata between 24th & 28th March 2010 with most of the major events on Saturday 27th March.

There are a number of fun events held during the day that Coastal Rockers have organised in conjunction with the Beach Hop committee.

On Saturday morning the Grand Parade will be lead by the Coastal Rockers Rock’n’Roll Club.

We will be assembling at the Whangamata Club in Port Road at 9.15 am for the march along to the roundabout by the Fire Station where we will proceed the length of the shopping area to the next roundabout stopping regularly to dance in the street.

We are inviting all other clubs to join us dressed in club colours with their banners and balloons etc. We have a mobile sound system to provide the dance music. If your club wishes to participate please contact the secretary by email or post.

Following the parade between approximately 11.00 am and 12.30 pm we are holding a mystery spot prize dance in the carpark next to the Council Building where chosen dance couples could win $50.00 cash prizes.

Saturday Night at the Club.
Coastal Rockers committee & members have recognised that everyone attending Beach Hop need to be closer to the action, giving them the freedom to visit other venues and check out the other bands, as well as the parade of cars doing their night cruise.

Our night time event needed to evolve from the traditional Birthday Hop to allow this to happen.

Coastal Rockers will be sponsoring the Saturday Night Dance at Whangamata Club in Port Rd featuring our choice of traditional 50s & 60s dance music especially for Rock n Roll dancers.

We will be hosting the Rockin Daddys, which is an Australian band who regularly feature at Australian Rock n Roll Dance Sport events.
They also appear at Beach Hop as the Atomic Hi Tones as they have for a number of years.

There are no tickets to purchase, or pay a cover charge, just show up and rock on in.

The Whangamata Club offers a full range of bar & restaurant facilities.
Come and join us as we turn back the years.
