Peka Peka, sometimes Pekapeka, is a lightly populated seaside locality[1] on the Kapiti Coast of New Zealand's North Island. Its population according to the 2001 New Zealand census is 195, an increase of 35.4% or 51 people since the 1996 census.[2] It is located just off State Highway 1 and the North Island Main Trunk railway between Waikanae and Te Horo. Peka Peka was briefly internationally famous when a young emperor penguin, nicknamed Happy Feet,[3] appeared on Peka Peka beach on 21 June 2011.[4] Emperor penguins are usually only found in the Antarctic.[5] References1. ^{{LINZ|27773||26 October 2007}} {{coord|-40.8327|175.0581|display=title|format=dms}}{{Wellington-geo-stub}}2. ^Statistics New Zealand, Peka Peka Community Profile, accessed 26 October 2007. 3. ^{{cite web|title=New Zealand penguin Happy Feet may have been eaten|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/newzealand/8756767/New-Zealand-penguin-Happy-Feet-may-have-been-eaten.html|publisher=The Telegraph|accessdate=25 January 2013}} 4. ^The Dominion Post Wellington, Kapiti's rare visit from emperor penguin, accessed 15 December 2011. 5. ^BBC News Asia Pacific, [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-13856024 Emperor penguin from Antarctic visits New Zealand beach], accessed 15 December 2011. 2 : Populated places in the Wellington Region|Kapiti Coast District |
