Lost Your Ring at Mount Maunganui?

New Zealand's Iconic Bay of Plenty Beach — Recovery Across Mauao, Main Beach and Pilot Bay.

Mount Maunganui ("the Mount") is New Zealand's most iconic beach destination — a long stretch of golden sand on the Bay of Plenty coast in Tauranga, framed by the conical Mauao (the iconic 232m volcanic peak at the northern end), with Main Beach on the ocean side and Pilot Bay on the sheltered harbour side. Marine Parade hosts the resort and apartment cluster, the Mount Hot Pools (geothermal pools), and a string of cafés. Ring Seekers Mount Maunganui covers Main Beach, Pilot Bay, the Marine Parade strip, and the Mauao base.
