Quite an erroneous impression is frequently created by the use of the mime ’‘Riverton Beach” in describing the ISmile stretch of wide ami practically unbroken sandy beach extending from the mouth of tlie Oreti River below Invercargill to within a few miles of Riverton. In the past this was loosely termed ‘‘the Riverton Beach.” with the result that in the minds of st lungers, it I.as been invariably associate..: with the town of Riverton; whereas its finest stretches are in close proximity to Invercargill, ami it is a well-known am! popular resort for Invercargill people (stales an exchange). To combat this misleading publicity. Invcrear till public bodies have imide a special point of naming it the "Oreti Beach’’—a much more suitable title.
