Pilot Bay Boardwalk — photo spot in Mount Maunganui 3116, New Zealand
Pilot Bay Boardwalk
Low, timber boardwalk curving along Pilot Bay's sheltered harbour offers clean leading lines, mirrored water, moored boats and unobstructed views of Mauao (Mount Maunganui). Ideal for sunrise and sunset color, long exposures on calm water, and foreground textures at low tide. Easy public access with nearby Pilot Bay carpark, wheelchair‑friendly path sections, no entry fee. Visit off‑peak weekdays for fewer people; be mindful that Mauao is a culturally significant site to local Māori.
