Raglan

Raglan is New Zealand's soul surf town. Famous for Manu Bay — one of the longest left-hand point breaks in the world — this small community radiates creativity, environmentalism, and a deep connection to the ocean. The black sand beaches and dramatic cliffs create a landscape unlike anywhere else in surf. The water's not warm (bring your 4/3mm), but the waves are world-class and the vibes are pure. Raglan proves you don't need tropical water to have a world-class surf life.
