| Papamoa
in the Bay of Plenty New Zealand |
Papamoa
is situated in the Tauranga District of the Bay
of Plenty region on the northeastern coast of the
North Island of New Zealand. Papamoa is the largest
suburb in Tauranga City. Papamoa
has miles of white sandy beach stretching from Mount
Maunganui in the west to the Kaituna River in the
east. Prior to the 1980's Papamoa had been largely
a rural area. Papamoa is now one of the fastest
growing areas in New Zealand due to the increase
in popularity of coastal communities, close proximity
to Tauranga and recent local shopping developments.

Papamoa,
untill
the 1980's, was a small and tight knit community
spread along 14km of beach, with dairy farming its
main industry. Now most of Papamoa's former farmland
has been swallowed up by new homes, schools, and
shopping centres. Papamoa's real estate prices have
also sky-rocketed in recent times. There are now
two major shopping complexes with most major franchises
to be found. Papamoa is also renowned for its fishing,
surfing and the Papamoa Hills Cultural Heritage
Regional Park. |

Beach is a 14km stretch of white sandy
coastline renowned for great swimming and surfing.
The family friendly beach gets very busy in the
summer but the locals are found surfing here all
year round. Ther are good Snapper, Gurnard and Kahawai
to be caught off the beach with a surf rod or kontiki
and a few kite fisherman are starting to fish from
here. Dolphins and Orca are often seen cruising
the waves. |
