Ngarunui Beach

Reviewed By AllanJGJ - Wellington, New Zealand

What a superb beach - whether you're up top looking at the splendid vista, down in the carpark checking out the surfers, or strolling along the miles of clean black sand. It was a lovely sunny day last week when we did it. Truly memorable. First time we've done it despite visiting Raglan a number of times. In future it will our first thing-to-do rather than our last!

Sunset Beach

Reviewed By Nat_Pitfield - Auckland, New Zealand

Sunset Beach is stunning. Black sand that sparkles in the sunshine. Rolling waves. Interesting rocks. And miles to walk and enjoy. My dogs love it and so do I.

Te Toto Gorge Lookout

Reviewed By GenRoseGenRose - Red Beach, New Zealand

Worth the windy gravel road to get there, parking can be busy due to being across the road from hiking track Beautiful, breathtaking sheer drop, one of the best lookouts I’ve been to

Ruapuke Beach

Reviewed By JamesM780 - Auckland, New Zealand

My lovely wife and I decided to do a little detour on our way back from the Fantail Falls. We were so glad we did as this lovely beach is just breath taking. There's a few hundred metre walk from the carpark over the sand dunes to some of the best and most consistent set of surf breaks I've ever seen. No wonder people rave about the surf at Raglan. Well worth going for a swim, a surf or a walk. Really peaceful and almost pristine. Thoroughly recommended.

Manu Bay

Reviewed By EnglandPops

We drove from Raglan along the coast road south & came upon Manu Bay, a fantastic scenic location & a dream for surfers. Enormous waves, towering cliffs & appeared a million miles away from civilisation.
