Raglan i-site Visitor Centre and Museum

Raglan is a remote colorful seaside town with black sand on the beaches and a rugged coastline. The town is on an estuary and a popular summer holiday place with a camping ground. There is a sandy patrolled swimming beach at Ngarunui to the south. Further south on the coast there are surfing spots The "left-handed" break at Manu Bay is famous among surfers. Would-be surfers can get lessons. The I-Site and Museum share a purpose built facility since 2011.
History here runs deep with Waikato Tribes having frequented the estuary since first settlement, and Pakeha starting early too with a mission station set up in 1835.
