Nugget Point area

Nugget Point (Māori: Tokatā) is a coastal landform on the Otago coast in New Zealand at the northern end of the Catlins coast, along the road from Kaka Point. This steep headland has a lighthouse at its tip, surrounded by rocky islets (The Nuggets). The point is home to many seabirds, including penguins, gannets, royal spoonbills, and a breeding colony of fur seals. Roaring Bay, on the south coast of the tip of Nugget Point, is home to a small colony of yellow-eyed penguins.
