Mission Bay is a popular beach resort and suburb of Auckland city, home to the vibrant Kepa Bush Reserve, which is located along the banks of Purewa Creek and preserves a wide variety of native bird species. The town's public beachfront is a great destination for families, who enjoy its pohutukawa tree-shaded sands, calm and safe swimming waters, and large children's playground. A highlight of the town of Mission Bay is the Trevor Moss Davis Memorial Fountain, which is cast in bronze and depicts three sea monsters, presenting daily water show with dancing waters shooting far into the air and lights highlighting the water's movements at night. A scenic main promenade runs from the center of town to the beach, lined with lively shops, restaurants, and bars.
