Ngarunui Beach is a long, sandy surf beach located just outside the town of Raglan, approximately 46 kilometers west of Hamilton in the Waikato District. It is the Waikato's most popular beach, renowned primarily for its consistent surf, which attracts a community of surfers and surf schools. The beach offers expansive views and is patrolled by lifeguards during the summer months. While its reputation is built on surfing, the adjacent Raglan Harbour and surrounding coastline provide a variety of marine recreational opportunities, including shore-based fishing from the beach itself.

The entire long, sandy sweep of Ngarunui Beach can hold fish, but the most productive areas are where sand gutters form. These are underwater channels or depressions close to shore that run parallel to the beach. Fish patrol these gutters to feed on food items stirred up by the surf. Anglers should look for these features at low tide to identify the best spots for casting during the incoming tide.
