Porpoise & Curio Bays

Porpoise Bay is a surfbreak situated at the south-eastern extremity of New Zealand's South Island, in an area known as the Catlins. It is an incredibly beautiful and remote place. Porpoise Bay is under threat from a Dairy Farm proposal now before the Southland District Council. The Southland District Council and Southland Regional Council have announced the pre hearing and hearing dates for this application to undertake high intensity farming.
