Kāpiti Coast District, Coastal administrative district in Wellington Region, New Zealand.
The district extends along 40 kilometers of coastline from Otaki to Paekakariki, featuring sandy beaches next to the Tararua mountain range.
European settlers established communities after the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company opened its services in 1886, connecting the region to major cities.
The district maintains multiple libraries, galleries, and museums that present exhibitions about local Maori heritage and contemporary New Zealand arts.
Regular electric trains and buses connect the district with Wellington, making it accessible for both residents and visitors throughout the day.
The presence of Kapiti Island, located 5 kilometers offshore, creates a natural barrier that influences local weather patterns and maritime activities.
