Beautiful spot at the base of Mount Maunganui that offers scenic views. There’s a boardwalk to stroll along, a grassy area for the kids to play on, plenty of sandy beach, seating, toilet facilities and drinking fountains. There’s limited parking though so the earlier you arrive the better. We visited on a Saturday morning and there were plenty of vendors there offering paddle boarding, jet skis, cattermeran hire etc. Lots of activities on offer or just enjoy the leisurely walk along the path u der the beautiful Norfolk pines.

Beautiful beach & nice day for watching every1 walking up Mt Maunganui. Definitely a must to go and do. Loved every minute. The only downfall is finding a good carpark so I recommend going quite early if you know its a hot day weatherwise. Great swimming and fun day to spend with whanau. A busy beach but plenty room for all ages

Pretty scenic place for a walk, it does have a concrete sidewalk, picnic tables, benches, accessible restrooms and a grill. Not sure if that grill is for public use since it’s on the sidewalk. There are a lot of street parking spots and some dedicated parking spots, but availability is relative to peak times so plan accordingly.

A quiet calm beach to simply relax and take in the scenery under the palms, a walk around the mountain if your feeling fit, and don't forget to finish off the day by by having a real fruit ice cream (with whipped cream, fudge, nuts and sauce 😋) at Copenhagen cones on the corner, yum!

Great lead in to walk round the mount. Great for young families to take the kids to swim in as it has no surf to speak off. Ready access to downtown the mount which is only a block away. Always a great place to watch the cruise ships and other vessels arriving at the port
