Paekakariki
New Zealand
This compact beachside village on New Zealand's North Island, Paekākāriki sits where the Tasman Sea meets the foot of the Akatarawa Ranges on the Kāpiti Coast. The coastal setting — sea on one side, hills on the other — gives it a strong photographic character, and the beach is the main draw for visitors passing through between Wellington and Paraparaumu.
