Directly across the road from Cutterscove, the azure waters of the Pacific Ocean meet the silver sandy shores of Mount Maunganui. Wake up, grab your towel and sunscreen and head out for a fabulously relaxing day at the beach.

How would you like to spend your day? How about swimming, surfing, body-boarding, surf-cast fishing or a game of beach cricket? You could watch the kids build sandcastles or create one yourself. You can sunbathe while you dig your toes into the sand, read a good book, splash around about in the shallows or graze on picnic food. You could paddle about on a sea kayak, or head to Pilot Bay for jet-skiing or snorkeling, you could take a kite-boarding lesson..it all awaits you on Mount Maunganui beaches.

And when you need to pop back to your accommodation for more supplies or a break from the sun - Cutters Cove is just across the road!
