That history lives on at Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom, the riverside cultural centre that also tells the town's Dutch settler story beneath the sails of the De Molen windmill, a full-size working replica. Foxton Beach, a few minutes away at the river mouth, adds a long stretch of west coast sand and a fishing community.
