explore papamoa

Papamoa (population 25,500) is the largest, and fastest growing suburbs of Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty region, with 16km of white sandy beach stretching from the boundary with Mount Maunganui in the west, to the Kaituna River in the east.

Widespread settlement of the area did not start until the early 1980s and prior to this Papamoa had been largely a rural area. The town has been one of the fastest growing areas in New Zealand in recent times due to the increase in popularity of coastal communities, close proximity to Tauranga and local shopping developments.

Papamoa is also renowned for its fishing, surfing and the Papamoa Hills Cultural Heritage Regional Park.
