Mt Maunganui
POP 30,400
Named after the hulking 232m hill that punctuates the sandy peninsula occupied by the
township, up-tempo Mt Maunganui is often just called 'the Mount', or Mauao, which
translates as 'caught by the light of day'. It's considered part of greater Tauranga, but
really it's an enclave unto itself, with great cafes and restaurants, hip bars and fab beaches.
Sun-seekers flock to the Mount in summer, supplied by an increasing number of 10-storey
apartment towers studding the spit. Online, see www.mountmaunganui.org.nz for inform-
ation.
