Moturiki island lies just off Ocean Beach, and you can walk to it on the land bridge off the main beach. This little island is bigger than it looks, about 1000 feet long, and there’s a trail that goes to the tip of the island. It’s a beautiful walk, sometimes tree-covered and shaded, sometimes grassy and bushy, and sometimes along the rocks and water. There are terrific views of the coastline which stretches as far as you can see to the southeast, and to the Mount to the northwest.

A beautiful little island with well developed walking trails that is easily accessible from Maunganui Beach. It’s a great place to walk around, enjoy the scenery and the panoramic views of the beaches, and take some time to relax. The trails are fairly flat and easy to walk, and it’s a great place to walk with your friends and family. Take the time to stroll around the island when you visit Maunganui Beach! You can get some great photos and you won’t be disappointed!

Watching sunset towards Mount Maunganui from Moturiki is gorgeous. Easy to get on the island by the walkpath. A few minutes only. Beware of those sharp rocks and wet area. Coming here early morning or golden time to take sunrise or sunset shot is a must!

Beautiful views from all points of the island. Good luck to the pest eradication team. Interesting to hear there's a blowhole at the furtherest tip of the island, as I've never spotted it.
