Papamoa Tides
Stretching for kilometres along the Bay of Plenty coastline, Papamoa's tide patterns mirror Mount Maunganui's but with a quieter, more expansive character. The long, gentle slope of the beach means the tide retreats to reveal vast sand flats that stretch toward the horizon at low water.
