"A lone daytripper at Ruapuke Beach. This dramatic West Coast area is only accessible by a 40 minute drive on a gravel road. Near Raglan, New Zealands surf capital. Raglan is just two and a half hours by car from Auckland. More of my images from New Zealand below."

Police are investigating after a body was found at a Raglan beach yesterday afternoon, but the death is not being treated as suspicious.

Police were called to the scene at 12.45pm yesterday, a police spokesperson told 1 NEWS.

"Work is now underway to establish the person's identity, and the process is expected to take some time," police say.

There are no indications the death is suspicious at this stage.

It comes six weeks after a fisherman went missing after being swept off the rocks at Raglan's Ruapuke Beach.
