Nugget Point

Looking down at Nugget Point and The Nuggets from viewing platform next to the lighthouse.

Nugget Point (Māori: Tokatā) is a coastal landform on the Otago coast in New Zealand. Located 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 and royal spoonbills, and a large 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.[1]
