Mount Maunganui is the ideal destination for a sunny summer holiday, but it really is a great place to be all year around.

Walking along the beach or around the Mount is also wonderful when it is a bit too cold to swim and there is plenty to see and do in the area on less sunny days.

If you are looking for something to do on a rainy day, here are a few suggestions:

• Give Indoor Rock Climbing a go
  
  
• Go Ten Pin Bowling
   
• Catch a movie at the Cinema
  
  
• Relax at the semi-covered Hot Salt Water Pools
  
  
• Swim at the Baywave Aquatic Leisure Centre
  
  
• Visit the Mount Action Sports Centre
  
  
• Explore the many art galleries and antique stores in the area
  
  
• Shopping at Bayfair Shopping Mall
  
  
• Stay in, relax and enjoy watching Sky TV
