The quest
Spend an hour on the public sand or stones at Van Wagners Beach (east of centre, Hamilton). Leave with five shoreline things you could find again tomorrow.
Steps
- Stay on the public beach at Van Wagners Beach. No private docks.
- Walk Van Wagners Beach's waterline until you have a list of five shoreline things.
- Turn around. Lifeguard flags, if any, are the boss.
Why this is on the board
Hamilton was built on water whether the skyline admits it or not. Van Wagners Beach (east of centre, Hamilton) is a named public edge: five things on the waterline, then you turn around.
Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
