The 140 hectare expanse of land that is Raglan’s Wainui Reserve is the sweetest spot for taking dogs to, while at the same time getting yoour own daily dose of cardio. Dogs can be walked right out onto the beach too - and no doubt they’ll live you for it as they hunt for sticks, dig their paws into sand. It’s the perfect dog’s day out, so make a whole day of it, and bring a picnic along too.

Raglan’s main beach has wide, sweeping black sand, crashing waves, and driftwood aplenty. It’s the perfect spot to learn how to surf; or just enjoy watching those who are trying! You’ll see many experienced surfers riding the waves, and the kite-surfers down the far end of the beach crowd the air with their many coloured kites. Sunbath, body-surf, swim, or walk your dog … this is a family-friendly beach with lots going on in the summer! Tip: Make sure you swim between the flags, as there are some rocks and strong currents to avoid.

For surf casting or deep sea fishing, just head west to sunny Raglan. You can fish off the main beach of Ngarunui or try catching sprats from the wharf or jetty. The Raglan Channel entrance is also a great place to cast for kahawai. And if you’re lucky enough to have boat access, you’ll find trevally and kingfish near the bar and the heads. There are also lots of kahawai, grey mullet and snapper to be caught by boat in the harbour or, if you prefer, gurnard and marlin then take a fishing charter from town and head out around the coast. And if the fish aren’t biting, why not try catching a wave instead? Raglan's main beaches and surrounding bays are perfect for surfing and swimming.

Beautiful spot for a walk or picnic!
