SURFING   Omanu beach is a popular beach for surfing. It works on all tides with both left and rights, offshore is South to South West winds and being a beach break, it spreads out the crowds so there is usually plenty of waves for all levels of experience.

Further west along the coast, Tay St and the headlands around Mt Maunganui beaches are popular and can be surfed at all tides.

Visit our surf board room and grab a board,  free  for guests provided you surf responsibly  and  within your limits. (Surf-at-your-own-risk)

We  have  a selection of mini-mals; thrusters and  boggie-boards available to guests.

Our Surfing Support Vehicle (SSV) is also available, subject to availability, to transport surfers’ to where the best breaks are at. Known locally as “The Beast“, our SSV can get to most places without any issues.

Nearby, there are also several schools that offer surf lessons including:
