HOMEPAGE
FOR PAPAMOA, NEW ZEALAND
Papamoa
is situated in the Tauranga District of the Bay of Plenty
region of New Zealand. Papamoa is the largest suburb in the
City of Tauranga. Papamoa Beach is renowned for its fishing,
surfing and the Papamoa Hills Cultural Heritage Regional Park.
As a surfing spot, Papamoa is underrated and has often been
seen as the 'poor cousin' to Mount Maunganui.
Papamoa
has miles of white sandy beach stretching from Mount Maunganui
in the west to the Kaituna River in the east. Widespread settlement
of the area did not start until the early 1980s. Prior to
this 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. Once a
small and tight knit community, many of Papamoa's sweeping
paddocks have been swallowed up by urban development.
