Kopua Footbridge (Raglan Footbridge)
Te Kopua Footbridge
A wooden footbridge spanning a small tidal inlet. In summer, local kids leap from the bridge into the water, making it the town's signature sight.
Te Kopua Footbridge links central Raglan with the Kopua campground and coastal reserve across the water. A long wooden boardwalk runs over the clear tidal inlet. In summer, when the tide is high, local kids and visitors queue up to jump off the bridge, making it Raglan's most iconic scene. At low tide the water is very shallow, so never dive. Once across, you can stroll the coastal path or picnic on the grass and watch the harbour. It's a 5-minute walk from Bow Street, and admission is free.
