Bay of Plenty Beaches - One of the key reasons thousands of holiday makers visit the Bay of Plenty region every year is its stunning, golden sand beaches. Hugging the Pacific Coast Highway from Waihi Beach to Ohope Beach, the Eastern Coast of New Zealand’s North Island is blessed with stretches of clean, rolling surf, protected dunes and coastal beauty.
There are numerous estuaries, bays and picnic spots for families, or those looking for a quieter day in the sunshine. Try restful Pilot Bay for a family day out. Lying at the foot of Mount Maunganui, this quiet bay is a great environment for picnics, swimming, windsurfing and kayaking.
Mount Maunganui is one of the most popular Bay of Plenty beaches. The small town’s population increases many times over at the Christmas and New Year’s break, with revellers flocking to beach side festivals, concerts, surfing, beach volleyball and tri-athlete competitions, along with jet boat racing.
Papamoa is also very popular; stretching kilometres of white sand with a view of Mount Maunganui in the far distance. It’s a less frantic environment, more relaxed and many surfers congregate at the Domain Road end of this beach.
Waihi Beach is a well kept secret. A gorgeous, long stretch of sand and waves, this small resort town offers stunning coastal walks, great surfing and other water sports opportunities.
Ohope Beach is now a popular tourist spot and resort suburb. A wonderful beach for swimming, its blue Pacific Ocean stretch extends for 10 kilometres.
