Omanu
Omanu is a beach and suburb in Mount Maunganui, Tauranga, in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island.

The white sandy beach is accessible via several public walkways through the dunes. It is a popular place to swim, surf and walk, and hosts surf lifesaving competitions.

A surf lifesaving club was established at Omanu in 1947 to patrol the beach. It is now the largest surf club in Bay of Plenty, and has the largest children's nippers programme in New Zealand.

Between July 2014 and December 2015, Omanu recorded the most burglaries of any suburb in Tauranga. Police say many of the thieves are opportunists.

The club also patrolled Papamoa Beach until a new club was established there in 1990.

A new club house was proposed in 2002 and completed in June 2006.

Tauranga City Council monitors erosion at the beach regularly and replenishes sand every year.
