The Catlins Coast is home to some of New Zealand's most dramatic shoreline scenery. The coast is known for a few remarkable natural features. ' The Nuggets' are a wave-eroded rocks, which are likened to the shape of gold nuggets, and can be seen from the viewing platform at the Nugget Point Lighthouse. Coastal caves, known as the 'Cathedral Caves' allow you to go into large caves hidden in cliffs during high tide, but are easily accessible during low tide, formed by the powerful crushing waves. Curio Bay allows for tourists to get up close with some of New Zealand's most well-known wildlife such as Fur Seals and Yellow-Eyed Penguins.
