Nearby spots to explore
If you’ve made it all the way to Cannibal Bay, don’t stop there! Here are a few more spots nearby that are well worth checking out:
Planning to explore more of the region? Check out our guides to:
- Surat Bay – Right next door and another great place to spot sea lions.
- Nugget Point Lighthouse – One of the most iconic sights in the Catlins, with panoramic ocean views and the chance to spot penguins and seals from above.
- Roaring Bay – Just below Nugget Point, this is a known spot to (hopefully) glimpse rare yellow-eyed penguins from the viewing hide, although over the years the penguin numbers have been declining and as of 2025 there are only 2 penguins that are rarely seen there.
- Purakaunui Falls – One of the most photographed waterfalls in New Zealand, just a 30 min drive away and an easy walk.
