Omanu
Omanu is a beach and suburb in Tauranga, in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island.
The long, 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. Tauranga City Council monitors erosion at the beach regularly and replenishes sand every year.
A surf lifesaving club was established at Omanu in 1947 to patrol the beach. The club also patrolled Papamoa Beach until a new club was established there in 1990. It is now the largest surf club in Bay of Plenty, and has the largest children's nippers programme in New Zealand. A new club house was completed in June 2006.
Between July 2014 and December 2015, Omanu recorded the most burglaries of any suburb in Tauranga. Police say many of the thieves are opportunists.
