• Kapiti Fishing Information

Raumati Beach is located on the western side of the marine gardens. It has unobstructed views of Kapiti Island and views of the tip of the South Island and the Tasmin Sea. It is a local favourite for fishermen, boaters, walkers, swimmers and many others. Whether it's that game of beach cricket or cooling off on a hot day, the beach has it all. It's safe for swimming and with the Village Shops and public toilets located close by it is a great place to have a picnic with the family. Renowned for its amazing sunsets, which contrast with Kapiti Island, it offers amazing scenic photo opportunities and provides a great backdrop to your day. Other features of the beach is the dune restoration, currently being undertaken and the Wharemauku Stream, which weaves through much of the Paraparaumu area before entering Raumati and the sea here. The beach has been inspirational to many local college students and primary school kids, evidenced especially in art work, the beach is only a short walk for a field trip. Even for local artists the beach has a unique lure, which can be seen through their art work and sculptures.



In 1992 the Kapiti Marine Reserve was created and is now abundant with marine life. It's a great place for diving and has boosted recreational fishing. It's not uncommon to see schools of Kahawai splashing about off the beach, which quite often can be caught with a good cast from the beach. Kayak and boat fishing are also popular.

Raumati Beach is used for many organised activities such as the Kapiti Women's Triathlon, held annually in March. The course runs through Raumati Beach and Paraparaumu, centered around Weka Park.
