Raglan Surf
The most popular surf beach for experienced surfers is Manu Bay, which is about a 10 minute drive from the town area, south west on Wainui Road.
Continue on the coast road for more surf at Whale Bay and Indicators Bay.
Or closer to Raglan, the black sand and surf of Ngarunui Beach is just a 7 minute drive from the town area accessed by a short road through the Wainui Reserve. (Some people incorrectly refer to this beach as Wainui Beach, because you get to it through the Wainui Reserve. It used to be called Ocean Beach.) The Raglan Surf Life Saving Club provides patrols on Ngarunui Beach just below the main car park area.
Kite boarding is popular in the harbour entry area. You can get lessons and hire equipment from Raglan Watersports. You can contact them on
