New Zealand, New Zealand
Peka Peka is a small seaside locality on New Zealand's Kāpiti Coast in the North Island, situated between Waikanae and Te Horo just off State Highway 1 and the North Island Main Trunk railway.
With a population of 702 as of the 2023 census, it gained international fame in 2011 when a young emperor penguin named Happy Feet appeared on its beach—the first sighted in New Zealand in 44 years. The area offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle with beach access, nearby Kapiti Island views, and proximity to Wellington, appealing to residents and visitors seeking tranquil escapes amid dunes and surf.
