Rubbish & RecyclingOn January 23, 2019 a significant slip occurred at Cape Kidnappers, resulting in the Hastings District Council closing beach access from Clifton in the interests of public safety. On this page the council will provide updates on any other slip activity, progress with geologist investigations of the area, and decision-making around beach access to the area. From June 5 2019, the beach has been re-opened, warning signs remain in place, and kaitiaki are stationed near Clifton Campground at low tide to warn people to be careful if accessing the beach.
