The Kapiti-Horowhenua region encompasses the rugged south-west coastline of the North Island of New Zealand. The most southerly town, Paekakariki, has some great cafes and a long sandy beach. Paraparaumu, to the north, is dominated by nearby Kapiti Island. The island is now a native bird sanctuary, and visitors to the island are welcome, though restricted. Lindale Farm Park, a short drive north of Paraparaumu, has a farm walk and a selection of specialty shops. Nearby Waikanae has a long beach and an excellent wildlife sanctuary. Further north is the Southward Car Museum, home to a large selection of vintage cars and motorbikes.
