Several townships make up the Kapiti Coast - Paekakariki, known for its resident artists, the rural town of Otaki, Waikanae - a peaceful yet growing town - and Paraparaumu, the region’s largest town with excellent facilities. Travel through the coastal area while enjoying views of Kapiti Island.

Stunning beaches, bush-clad hills, and an island nature reserve, the Kapiti Coast stretches 40km from Otaki in the north to Paekakariki in the south. Visitors can explore the towering Tararua Ranges to the east and within 30 minutes be swimming at one of the many beaches in the west.

The region has a  rich heritage of produce growing, high quality manufacturing, and providing sea, sand and sun for many of the nation’s holiday-makers.
