In 1931 a disastrous earthquake destroyed the city. The earthquake heaved 40 square kilometres of water covered land above sea level. Rebuilding began, resulting in Napier becoming the art deco capital.

Other activities include windsurfing, jet skiing, kayaking, canoeing and parasailing - all available on the waterfront.

New Zealand's largest city is draped over seven volcanoes and wrapped around Waitemata Harbour (meaning "sea of sparkling waters" in Maori).

Eden, overlook the "City of Sails," which will host the America's Cup races in 2000.
