Mt Maunganui at the entrance of Tauranga Harbour, is a large lava dome formed by the upwelling of rhyolite lava about two to three million years ago. The urban area in the foreground occupies a narrow neck of dune sand called a tombolo that linked Mt Maunganui to the mainland several thousand years ago after sea level rose to its present height.
