Mount Maunganui is without a doubt one of the beautiful places in the Bay of Plenty.
From Main Beach through to Ocean Beach down to Papamoa and beyond to to Maketu is a sensational stretch of beach which
almost sits parallel to sun rise and sunset.
Very few places will allow you to photograph both rise and set without changing locations.
