Ōtaki Beach

Otaki Beach lies between the mouth of the Ōtaki River and the Tasman Sea on the Kāpiti Coast of the Wellington Region, a setting that gives this small settlement an open west-coast character. The long shore faces Kāpiti Island, a protected nature reserve offshore, while the Tararua Range rises inland beyond the coastal plain. It belongs to the wider Ōtaki community, known for its Māori connections and for Rangiātea Church, rebuilt after the 1995 fire that destroyed its 19th-century predecessor. Broad sand, surf and an unhurried coastal atmosphere define the beach rather than urban bustle.
