Mount Maunganui Beach

Situated in the city of Tauranga, Mt Maunganui is a favourite holiday destination for Kiwi’s. With a white sandy surf beach on the ocean side, and a sheltered, safe inner harbour beach a short stroll away, it is the ideal place to indulge in sunbathing, swimming or surfing.

Mount Maunganui  Beach is on the Eastern side of New Zealands North Island in the Bay of Plenty, just across the Harbour from Tauranga, so is exposed to big surf waves from an open ocean to the East.

This gives the beach fine soft white sand, and strong surf waves. This can sometimes make the surf dangerous with rip currents dragging the unwary along the coast, or even out to sea.

The Harbour Beach is calm and makes safe swimming and boating.
