Many artists choose to live on the Nature Coast because of our natural and inspirational landscape. You can visit many artist studios and purchase art direct from the artist many in Kapiti. Also many cafe's exhibit the work of local artists around the region. If you are around in November, check our events calendar for the Kapiti Coast Arts Trail too.

You could spend a whole week visiting a different museum each day. We’re renowned for our transport museums, and we’ve got a working windmill in Foxton. Many locals are passionate about their history, and are only too happy to share it with you.

We have a wide variety of shopping experiences to keep all budgets intact! Many retail outlets are on State High 1, but our beach villages are certainly worth a visit.

We are the western gateway to some of the most rugged and challenging tramping in New Zealand - the mighty Tararua Range. You can also take a day trip into these ranges and explore the foothills. Whatever length of trip you are planning please be prepared - the weather can change in a flash, often leaving ill-prepared trampers stranded.
