Raglan
50km west of Hamilton, on the Tasman Sea, is Raglan, a pleasant seaside resort with a beach of black sand. It is named after Lord Raglan, commander of British forces in the Crimean War. The first white mission station in the Waikato region was established here in the 1830s.

Bridal Veil Falls
It is worth making a detour south from Raglan to the magical Bridal Veil Falls, which really do wave in the wind like a white veil. When the sun is shining from the right direction they also glisten with all the colors of the rainbow.
