Doctor's Point Reserve

Beach Waitati, Otago, New Zealand

What to expect

Doctor's Point Reserve is a beautiful location popular for its white sand and crystal clear blue sea, making it perfect for a hot summer day. The area is home to wildlife and sea birds, and visitors can enjoy activities such as swimming, family picnics, surf casting, cockle collecting, and kayaking. The nearby sea caves, also known as Taoka's Arches, are a must-visit, but be sure to time your visit at low tide. The reserve is also a great spot for walking and offers stunning views across to Warrington. It's essential to keep dogs on their leads to protect the nesting birds, sea lions, seals, and penguins that frequent this location
