Tay Street Beach Kitchen
Beachfront cafe at the southern Mount Main Beach end, with one of the strongest brunch menus in town and ocean-side outdoor seats. Truffle-oil wagyu mince on sourdough; smoked-bacon eggs benedict. The defining Mount brunch.
Hide
A small wine-bar-restaurant tucked down an alley off Maunganui Road, with the best wine list in town and a Mediterranean sharing-plate menu. Locals' grown-up evening spot; small, busy, book ahead.
Mauao Summit Track
Direct 30-minute climb from the base loop to the 232m summit of Mauao, with viewpoint stops and a 360-degree panorama at the top. The town's signature walk and a near-daily local ritual. Note that the track is closed for slope-stabilisation work following the January 2026 landslide, with no confirmed reopening date, so check access before you go.
Mauao Base Track
Flat 3.4km loop around the base of Mauao, on shingle paths with one or two stairs. Pram-friendly, sea-level, and the easier alternative to the summit. Note that Mauao's tracks are closed for slope-stabilisation after the January 2026 landslide; the base track has the most slip damage and is expected to stay closed longest, so check access before you go.
Mount Hot Pools
Heated salt-water pools at the foot of Mauao, the year-round bathing complex. The local ritual after a summit climb. Adults-only sections in the evening, family pools by day.
Hibiscus Surf School
Long-running surf school on Main Beach with one-on-one lessons and group classes. The Mount is one of the easiest places in NZ to learn to surf, and Hibiscus is the original school here.
Mauao (The Mount)
The 232m volcanic plug that gives the town its name, with summit and base tracks looping around it. Sacred to local iwi, free to walk, and the single defining landmark of the Bay of Plenty. Note that the tracks are closed for slope-stabilisation work following the January 2026 landslide, with no confirmed reopening date, so check access before planning a climb.
Main Beach Mount Maunganui
The long sandy ocean beach stretching south from Mauao for kilometres, with lifeguarded swimming, surf schools, and the most concentrated café and bar strip in the town directly behind. The Mount's living room and reason most people are here.
