It is the largest residential suburb in Tauranga, having a population of 20,091 at the 2013 census.[1] It is bordered to the west by Mount Maunganui (east of Sunrise Avenue and Hibiscus Avenue), the east by the Kaituna River (separating it from the Western Bay of Plenty District) and to the south by State Highway 2. Papamoa Beach has 16km of white sandy beach stretching from the boundary with Mount Maunganui in the west to the Kaituna River in the east. Widespread settlement of the area did not start until the early 1980s and prior to this Papamoa Beach had been largely a rural area. Once a small and tight knit community, many of Papamoa Beach's sweeping paddocks have been swallowed up by urban development. Papamoa Beach is currently one of the fastest growing suburbs of Tauranga, with many different subdivisions developing concurrently on different blocks of land on the fringes of the suburb. Papamoa Beach is renowned as a popular fishing, surfing, and holiday retreat. The population in Papamoa Beach (alongside neighbouring Mount Maunganui) grows significantly during the busy summer months. In 2012, Papamoa Beach was the location for a skinny dipping world record attempt. On 2 December 2012, 299 people got naked in the water as the nearby Baywatch campsite in Gisborne hosted the event. Despite a cold day, lots of people stripped naked attempting to beat Christchurch's Summer Beach Dip. The record failed as Guinness World Records required all swimmers to be in the water at the same time for a group photo.[2] The skinny dips follow a recent court decision upholding the right to be naked in public for innocent reasons. Name issuesThe suburban area of "Papamoa" as it is commonly referred to today is actually situated at "Papamoa Beach." Strictly geographically speaking, "Papamoa" is actually located closer inland towards the Papamoa Hills, in an area covered by the Western Bay of Plenty District Council. Papamoa (situated at Papamoa Beach) can be split into two areas: Papamoa East and Papamoa West. Legally speaking Domain Road separates Papamoa West from Papamoa East, although to many locals Papamoa East starts on the Eastern side of Parton Road. Papamoa East (of Parton Road) in the 1970s and 1980s used to be seen as more of an alternative place to live, a bit like the Coromandel Peninsula. Commercial activityPapamoa Beach has a large shopping area located to the west of Domain Road, containing the Papamoa Plaza shopping centre, as well as a number of other retailers, including the Fashion Island shopping area (located south of Gravatt Road). There is a small section of industrial activity located to the east of Parton Road. The construction of the Tauranga Eastern Link, which was completed in 2016, provided many jobs in the area. EducationPapamoa Beach has five schools.
