There are two routes to the top, hard and less hard. To be fair the easier route isn't too bad. Many people of all ages walking the day we went it was so nice to see so many people walking this track. Highly recommend this for exercise and a great view.

Thoroughly recommend this walk around the base of Mount Maunganui. Great views of the coastline and the ocean. It takes just under an hour. A few steps have been installed where there have been some minor land slips but generally it is an easy walk.

A great place to walk or relax after a trip up Mt Maunganui ! Clean sands lovely warm water. Tide was going out during our visit and there was a bit of an undertow. The views along the beach and the mountain are splendid. The ocean front drive is lined with shops and cafes. Great relaxing place.

With a board walk the full length of the beach this is an ideal way to allow lunch to digest.
We walked and sat here most days with coffee shops close by and an excellent ice cream kiosk all tastes are catered for.
Good views of the shipping going in and out of port,nfushermen, swimmers paddle boarders and children playing in the safe shallow waters.
Time it right and you see school children being taught to paddle outrigger canoes.

A fun set of sculptures depicting 'Hairy' and friends! Right by the sea front and other things to keep the smaller people happy.

We started walking toward the Mount about an hour before we reached the rocky outcroppings on the beach and this island. As we got closer we realized the tide was out and we could go for a walk to see the views from all sides. It was remarkable. Just past the island is a whole other beach with high priced lodging bought or rentals. It just got more beautiful.
