Raglan is a little surf town around 45 minutes west of Hamilton by car and boasts some of the best point breaks New Zealand has to offer. Famous for its black sand beach (Ngarunui Beach) and world class waves at Manu Bay, Whale Bay, and Indicators, Raglan has so much to offer for both summer fun at the beach and photography.

Raglan is more of a sunset spot for photography but attracts some beautiful light at sunrise also. My favourite location to photograph the beach is from the top car park above Ngarunui Beach. You can view the coast from all the way up to Port Waikato from this location. The beach is perfect for practicing sea scape shots with some boulders scattered as you walk left along the shoreline.

Take your wide angle lens with you to the lookout at sunset for beautiful views.
