Rugged Coastline Molyneux Bay Otago New Zealand
Photo & Vacation Spot

The coastline at Molyneux Bay in Otago, New Zealand possesses a rugged appearance where the waves thrash on the rocks as the Nugget Point Lighthouse watches over the area.

While driving the Southern Scenic Route in Otago, New Zealand, be sure to stop at Molyneux Bay and admire the beautiful scenery of the rugged coastline. As the water gets tossed about, it crashes against the jagged rock formations creating a beautiful white spray.

Atop the cliff in the backdrop, the Nugget Point Lighthouse keeps watch over these waters when they cause turmoil for ocean vessels. Molyneux Bay is a favorite location for Hooker's Sea Lions and can often be seen lounging about on top of the boulders or on the beach at low tide.
