Nugget Point / Tokata

Nugget Point / Tokata at the northern end of the Catlins, Otago, New Zealand takes its English name from the rocky islets, here highlighted in late afternoon sunlight, which were named by early whalers as "The Nuggets". The Maori name, Tokata, translates as rock.

The lighthouse first operated on 4 July 1870.
