Kinloch Beach — Local services in Waikato

Kinloch is a lovely place to visit, the lake has small pebbles, so definitely wear shoes when you go down to the lake.

There's heaps of dogs and littlies on bikes blissfully unaware of time and they're not accounting for quick paced driving as they blast out of random side chutes and walking paths on to the main road. Swimming temp is a few degrees colder than the main...
