FOXTON’S SEASIDE RESORT.

“Without a doubt, one of the big attractions of Fox ton is its beach, and it is as a seaside resort that the town will develop in the future,” is the opinion expressed in a special article dealing with Foxton, which appeared in the .Wellington Post. “Already the lure of the sea proved strong to many people living in nearby towns- such as Palmerston North, Feilding, and Levin, and in recent years numerous seaside residences have been erected at Mauawatu Heads. A fine beach —the finest in New Zealand, Foxton residents will tell you —and a wonderful climate —again the finest in New Zealand, if the people of Foxton are to be believed—combine to make Foxton an ideal place for a holiday, and the people of the town, as represented by the Borough Council, have not been slow to see the possibilities there are in the development of this feature. By road Foxton is four miles from the sea, and a good metal surface makes this a popular run with motorists. It is the intention of the council to later bituminise the road to the beach. Foxton beach is already a popular seaside resort, and during the summer months there are regular excursions from Palmerston North and the surrounding towns.”
