Feel the wind tousling your hair, the water washing over your feet and the salt in the air at Waikanae Beach. Stick around for sunset to cap off an unforgettable day out.

This stretch of coastline in Greater Wellington is well-liked by travelers, so put it on your to-do list. Don't stop there, though. There are many more options ready for you to appreciate after Waikanae Beach. Paraparaumu Beach, Peka Peka Beach, and Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club are close by.

8.2/10 Very Good! (397 reviews)
We had no view like the picture shows. My Mum really wanted a view but we could only see the next door neighbour. BUT everything else was great and the location was perfect.
