​​ISSUE 126 - November 2025

 

Your FREE monthly magazine of all things local on the Coast.

​

How delicious it is sensing the anticipation of summer right now, travelling home from adventures through the fading light of an evening dusk or feeling a warm breeze still wafting through the windows at dinner time. Soak it up lovely readers, make sure you enjoy the moment and rejuvenate yourselves this month in preparation for Christmas craziness to come.  

This issue brings an abundance of useful information to help you prepare for the coming months, such as our Beauty Brief column with tips for skin care this summer, The Fishing Spot with the latest on-the-water intel to make your next trip out a successful one, and for help with entertaining, our cooking questions include some chef-level feta-whipping tips, and we have recipes for a flavour-packed Moroccan couscous salad and a delicious strawberry mousse. 

Our feature this month celebrates the success of local eco-business Once Loved Twice Hugged and we introduce you to two lovely ladies at the helm of local refreshment spots – Tracy Campbell of The Clubhouse Café and Lisa Jane McCarthy, proprietor of Lisa Jane’s Coffee Caravan at Arundel Reserve. 

And if you’re looking ahead for ways to keep your kids busy next year, we have details on the local Sea Cadets and how to join up for 2026, and dates for the cheerleading tryouts being held this month for the 2026 competitive teams at local gym Crave Athletics.  

Finally, a little reminder that the Orewa Santa parade is happening Saturday, 29 November at 4.30pm. Don’t forget to head on down and kick off the Christmas season local style.

Please, pop your feet up and enjoy.
