Coastal Rockers was originally formed in 1994 and celebrates with  an annual Birthday Hop .

In 2001, the celebration of that years  Birthday Hop included a few hot rods and live bands in the street which eventually evolved into the phenomenally successful Beach Hop, now the second largest nostalgia festival of its type in the Southern Hemisphere.

Coastal Rockers is an adjunct group and is part of Whangamata Club Inc, which is located in Port Rd where it holds its regular club nights on a Tuesday between 7.30pm & 10.00pm from mid February until mid November each year.

At the beginning of each new season a series of Beginners Lessons are held to encourage new members  to learn basic Rock n Roll steps and give them confidence to join in, participate and enjoy this popular form of dancing. Dates for the beginners lessons are advertised in the local Coastal News

During the year, intermediate lessons are held if the demand is there, as well as impromptu lessons for other fun sequences and formation steps.

The club has close contact with other Rock n Roll clubs in the area and members have the opportunity to travel to their special events such as their Birthday Hops, Fun Championships and Challenges.

Combined Fun Championships are usually held in August of each year and are hosted by Coastal Rockers, L&P Rockers or Valley Rockers.
