This page includes sales for Papamoa and Papamoa Beach suburbs.

Papamoa or Papamoa Beach is a suburb of Tauranga, located about 11 kilometres from the city centre, and is the largest residential suburb in Tauranga. It is bordered to the west by Arataki and Mount Maunganui, the east by the Kaituna River (separating it from the Western Bay of Plenty District) and to the south by State Highway 2.

Home to more than 38,000 people, Pāpāmoa is one of the country’s fastest growing suburbs, though it is bigger than many New Zealand towns.

Once a stretch of uninhabited coastline, paddocks of cows who enjoyed beach views have made way for residential subdivisions, attracting retirees, young people and families.

With it comes two shopping malls, schools, and even its own ‘town’ within a suburb with the recent opening of the $1billion ‘The Sands’ town in a Pāpāmoa East. The sands has a brand new $10.5m supermarket, restaurant and retail outlets, and in the next year, a $100m aquatic centre.

The local white sand beach is a much-loved holiday destination for generations of Kiwi families, and is a perfect place to relax in the sun. Many come here to camp, with many different options for camping sites. Be it freedom camp or staying within a holiday park. It certainly has garnered a reputation as a destination for rest and relaxation. A great place for a fantastic Bay of Plenty beach holiday.
