Bay of Plenty:
The Bay of Plenty is New Zealand's fastest growing and best-known recreational area. It features one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, often with very few people on it!  Tauranga, on a beautiful harbour, is the fastest growing provincial city in New Zealand and one of New Zealand's busiest ports. Mount Maunganui, across the harbour on a wonderful swimming and surfing beach, is a bustling, up-market beach resort, with bistros and cafes lining the beachfront and the harbour, lovely walking tracks, and salt water hot pools. Papamoa is just along the beautiful white-sand beach, where there are few crowds, and Rotorua is a 50 minute drive. The area is only 35 minutes by air and 2½ hours by leisurely car drive from Auckland.

Recreation
The area offers an abundance of recreation opportunities. It is a fun place to be! From swimming to wind surfing, from flying to boating and, of course, fishing. With lots of events happening all the time: The Bay of Plenty offers interesting things for everyone! 

Weather
The ocean moderates the weather here. It is the sunniest place in the North Island with an average of 6½ sunshine hours per day. Summer makes for lovely, long days on the beach, with the seawater warm and pleasant. At night, temperatures cool down ensuring a good night’s sleep. Winters have a few stormy, rainy days but are generally warm and dry, similar to California.  

In short: 

The Bay of Plenty is where everyone wants to be!
