Mount Maunganui

Mount Maunganui sits at the foot of Mauao, the 232-metre volcanic cone whose name means 'caught by the dawn' and which gives the town its identity. The Main Beach has been ranked the best in New Zealand, with surf on the ocean side and calm harbour water on the other. Around 22,000 people live here year-round, a figure that balloons every summer as holidaymakers fill the apartments and campgrounds along the beachfront.
