Short trip along gravel to this beach, easy access to see sea lions, information about the worst civilian ship wreck.

Just 15 K from Fort Rose on the way to Curio Bay and only 3 or 4 minutes from the main highway. It is very rare that you are not treated to Sea Lions playing on or near the beach . Whenever I have visitors I manage to take them to here to get a real feel for New Zealand and its fresh beauty .

Great place to visit (best in fair weather as little to no shelter outdoors). Easy walking and great for picnics. Also clean DOC toilets available. All old buildings have long been removed, lighthouse is all that is left. It is a long way down at the end of 'Waipapa Lighthouse Road' (dead end). Great spot for lunch or dinner if you are a 'certified self contained' campervan, for somewhere to sit and shelter. Can be VERY windy. Wear sensible footwear and dress for conditions.

This has got to be one of the easiest to access lighthouses in NZ. Fascinating history being the scene of NZ's worst civil maritime disaster. The sea lions put on a great display. I think this is one of Southlands best coastal attractions and it all costs nothing but for a voluntary donation.
