Located in the holiday resort town of Mount Maunganui in a suburb of Tauranga, in New Zealand's North Island, Maunganui Beach—also known as Mount Maunganui Beach or Mount Maunganui New Zealand Beach or Mount Maunganui Main Beach—is a long, golden sand beach.  This beach lies at the base of Mount Maunganui, a dormant volcanic cone also known as Mauao that shaped the region millions of years ago along the Bay of Plenty and extends from Mount Maunganui (Mauao) to Papamoa Beach.  It has a stunning backdrop of Mount Mauao, a dormant volcano, coastal vegetation, and many oceanfront buildings, making the beach one of the most popular and the most photographed in New Zealand.  The beach is promoted as an ecotourism destination, encouraging sustainable tourism practices to preserve the natural beauty, flora, and fauna of the region.  In February 2015, Maunganui Beach was awarded as the ‘Best Beach in New Zealand’ and also ranked among the top 25 beaches in the world in various travel polls.
