Really beautiful beach and we are in process still on beautifying it, and restoring beach and surrounding area. Hence reasons why there signs requesting no motorized vehicles on beach... This includes cars, Ute's, motor bikes... 2 and 4, any farm vehicle... Lloyd... There many of us giving up our time and money to improve this beautiful spot , and soon will have cameras in place to prosecute. Enjoy the place but do your part and please keep to the very few rules. As it also a safety issue... Disappointed

I've tried to map Ruapuke Beach a few times but Google won't accept it; so I'll put a review of it in this parking lot segment. This beach is beautiful and well worth visiting. Its most unique feature is its black sand, which sparkles in the sun as though littered with diamonds. We've been to black sand beaches before but have never seen anything like this. Tip: It's easy to combine a visit to this beach with other sights. You can start with Bridal Veil Falls, then take an unsealed loop road (Ruapuke Road which later turns into Whaanga) to Ruapuke Beach. Continue from there to the Te Toto Gorge Lookout, the surf breaks at Whale (a short detour) and Manu Bays, and Ngarunui Beach. It's a winding road but a beautiful drive, and if you end your day at the Raglan Wharf then you'll really have seen the area!
The Carpark I don't rate,however the Beach is another matter; and the Surf absolutely Awesome!
Beautiful beach to spend a day. Toilet available. Very popular fishing and surfing spot. Access is along a very narrow and unsealed road. Plenty of parking.
Carpark has easy beach access and a well maintained public toilet. Beach is beautiful with fine sand, lots of shells and birdlife.
It is just a regular parking lot by the beach without facilities. All good though.
Lovely drive from Raglan around to Ruapuke Beach. See some of New Zealand's fantastic untouched West Coast. Gravel road around there so take it slow
Gravel road to get there from Raglan but it’s really worth it! Not crowded at all!
