A rahui is in place at a North Auckland beach as police and coastguards continue their search for a man who went missing on Sunday afternoon.
Emergency services were called to Shelly Beach about 1pm, after a man went into the water and failed to return.
Coastguard Kaipara said in a social media post that a rahui was placed on the Shelly Beach area by local iwi and hapu.
It said the Royal New Zealand Navy’s hydrographic team was also helping with the search.
