Raglan

Dramatic west coast scenery and consistently perfect waves have created the surfing legend that is Raglan.

The surf town of Raglan is relaxed and arty. Watched over by Mount Karioi, the colourful community goes about the business of surfing, creating artworks and enjoying the fantastic coastal environment. Manu Bay to the west is world famous for its perfect left-hand break; two kilometres further on is Whale Bay, known for its terrific tubes. For those who don’t surf (or don’t want to take surfing lessons) there are safe swimming beaches, hiking tracks and kayaks for hire. Or follow the arts and crafts trail to meet some of the local creatives. Expect great cafés and all kinds of accommodation – from upmarket lodges to basic backpackers.
Functional facts: Approx. population 2700, information centre, basic shopping.
