Nugget Point

Nugget Point is one of the most distinctive places on the Otago coast: a steep peninsula with a lighthouse, surrounded by a group of rocks (the nuggets). From the viewing platform at Nugget Point lighthouse, you experience a breathtaking view and can often see seals on the rocks directly below the lighthouse – don't forget to bring binoculars. With a little luck, you can also see black-vented shearwater (seabird), a booby breeding colony, sea lions, and even Hector dolphins. From Nugget Point is not far from Roaring Bay, where you can see yellow-eyed penguins (the best time is early in the morning or at sunset).
