At the foot of Papamoa Hill, the town of Papamoa borders magnificent Papamoa Beach, which sweeps along the
Bay of Plenty coastline from
Mount Maunganui. This vast stretch of sand is backed by dunes, and even at the height of summer rarely feels crowded. Swimming, surfing, fishing or just relaxing with a picnic are just some of the leisure options.
Papamoa has become a popular residential area for those working in
Tauranga and is ideally situated to explore the
Bay of Plenty region. For the adventurous, jetboating and whitewater rafting can be enjoyed on the region's rivers while offshore there is game fishing and scubadiving. The bustling city of Tauranga and the holiday resort of Mount Maunganui are a short drive north-west, while the kiwifruit-growing countryside of
Te Puke is just to the south-east.
