Some beaches are great for surfing in New Zealand. Manu Bay is a great example. This beach is located in the town of Raglan. It is considered one of the best beaches with left-hand waves in the world. The height of the waves reaches 3 meters off the coast at certain times of the year. This makes the beach an optimal training place for experienced surfers.
Manu Bay is one of the first beaches in the world to be used for regular training and surfing competitions. Surfers began to visit the coast in the 60s of the last century. Filming of the "Endless Summer" film took place here in 1966. The famous Raglan Surfing School is located on the beach. Therefore, not only professional surfers but also beginners like to come here.
