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.
