This vintage photographic print captures the unique spirit of Raglan, New Zealand—a surf haven where black sand beaches meet rolling hills and the rugged beauty of the West Coast. In the foreground, surfers glide over the waves at the renowned Raglan Surf Club, while in the background, Te Kopua Beach and the scenic Papahua Reserve stretch out toward the harbor. The beach is alive with energy, evoking the easygoing vibe of a classic Kiwi summer, complete with board shorts, sun-kissed sand, and the iconic Raglan Roast coffee stand nearby. The surrounding landscape features views of distant mountains, the Tawatahi River winding toward the coast, and even the rare sight of orca whales gliding gracefully in the water. For those with an eye for detail, the print includes charming touches like the Raglan Aerodrome, the rustic Te Akau Wharf, and the welcoming Poihakena Marae. It’s a scene that perfectly encapsulates the rugged charm and relaxed lifestyle of Raglan, a town that’s as famous for its art, surf, and fishing culture as it is for its black sand beaches. This print, with its warm vintage tones, is a nostalgic piece for lovers of NZ art, surfing, and the iconic landscapes of New Zealand’s west coast.
