The laid-back vibe. A creative, artistic feel. The bohemian spirit. Call it what you want, but this magnetic force draws in an attractive mix of friendly locals, curious travelers, and keen surfers. Raglan gets compared to an old-school Byron Bay – from 20 years ago. Yet, our town has its own special identity.

With three world-class point breaks and a user-friendly beach break, Raglan is New Zealand’s premier surf town. The surf breaks cater to all ability levels ranging from first-timers to the world’s best.

Of course, there’s a lot more to Raglan than the waves. While surf lessons are always a highlight, there’s so much more to explore. From yoga to hiking and everything in between, this little coastal town has a lot to offer. We’re here to provide insider knowledge and help you make the most out of your stay in Raglan.
