Paraparaumu
Paraparaumu in Māori, ‘scraps from a hangi oven’, is the commercial and administrative heart of the Kāpiti Coast region of the lower North Island. About 45 minutes north of Wellington City, people celebrate its golden beach, mild climate, and access to the Kapiti Island Nature Reserve. On the West Coast of the North Island, this is a key commuter town for the Wellington set. The coastal view is focused on the rocky outline of Kapiti Island, the prominent bird sanctuary and historical reserve. The culture is relaxed, small-town coastal, ideal for those seeking more sun and space than found in Wellington. Paraparaumu Beach is popular for swimming, relaxing, and kite surfing, while the adjacent village area provides cafés and shops. The Queen Elizabeth Park is the longest coastal park in the area, attracting walkers, cyclists, and horse riders to the dunes along the beach. The low-key nightlife centres on Paraparaumu Beach Village with a relaxed, seaside vibe. Visit the Boundary Stone, a popular gastropub, and The Social, a relaxed bar and restaurant, and you’ll find live sport and music at the main taverns.
