Mount Maunganui

 

Mount Maunganui is regarded as a coastal resort town, although Port of Tauranga, a major facility, is also partly located on the western (harbour) side. It is also well-known for the quality of its surfing conditions, though parts of the beach are notoriously dangerous. The harbour bridge was opened in 1988, linking Mount Maunganui with Tauranga. Currently, a duplication bridge is being built ( Open Dec 2009* ) which will form the link in Tauranga and Mount Maunganui's growing motorway system. Beautiful white sand beaches, and warm water, make Mt Maunganui a beautiful get-away. New zealand is located in the southern hemisphere, which means when it is winter in america, it is summer in New Zealand. So be sure to plan your winter vacation in beautiful Mount Maunganui, New Zealand!
