The Kāpiti District covers 40 kilometres of coastal plain. The District strongly identifies with Kāpiti Island, a national wildlife sanctuary, which is located five kilometres offshore from Paraparaumu. The Coast has a distinctively laid-back character, ideal for those wanting to combine the best of rural and beach life and is a sought-after weekend retreat.
It has wonderful safe swimming and surfing beaches, with great sunsets, and sand for miles.
It is an ideal location to escape to enjoy long walks and solitude year round where you can walk, surf, ride your horse, relax, or just listen to the ocean and the birds sing!
