Orca has a bar with sheltered outside area at the back, with lovely views over the estuary and Holiday Park as well as a pool table. A great spot for a beer.
Alright for dinner too, just for a "normal" restaurant meal. Good desserts.

At a 20 minute drive from Raglan down the coast, partly over a gravel road, you'll find this amazing lookout right at the car park. Recommended at sunset! There's also a track up the mountain as well as down into the gorge.

Rent a kayak or paddle board to visit Raglan's very own pancake rocks! Interesting layered rock formations located on the other side of the estuary.
There are a number of operators in Raglan who can sort you out with equipment hire or fully guided tours.
Given that Raglan’s estuary is tidal, it’s always worth paying attention to tidal flows. You’ll also want to check the weather, especially the wind direction and strength.

Great location to look out over Raglan's main surf beach. Especially lovely around sunset... And why not combine this with one of our take-out recommendations!

Amazing authentic Italian wood fired pizzas. Although vegetarian only, they have the best 4 cheeses pizza, mushrooms, artichokes and vegan chorizo that tastes surprisingly good!

After a few different attempts in town, this latest Indian offering might be here to stay! At least, we'd hope so - definitely the best one so far!
