Mount Maunganui is located on the northeastern side of the city center of Tauranga. As its name suggests, its most visible landmark is the extinct volcano bearing the same name as the suburb, known to locals as the Mount. There are two trails that hiking enthusiasts can take to explore. The biggest tourist drawer in the area, however, is arguably its white sand beaches, some of which are surfer-friendly. Main Beach, the most popular of these, has been recognized as one of the best beaches in the world. Foodies, meanwhile, can go on a food trip by checking what the local cafes and restaurants have to offer. This area has plenty to offer travelers, so book one of the Bookabach Holidays Homes in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand, to give yourself time to check out the sights in the area.
