I was there for the sunrise and even if I couldn't see the sun appear from the sea horizon, that was a great show.
Hi,
I was alone to watch the top of the waves illuminated by the orange sun.
I edited a short video about the beauty I saw.
Cheers,

The lighthouse is good. How many steps! A lot and steep and it was very windy when we were there. The gravel road is actually quite good. We made the mistake of walking about 3kms to get there. On the plus side we did see a lot of seals.

Driving the last bit of Cape Palliser Road there are plenty of opportunity to see seals!
Lovely animals not afraid of us and beautiful landscapes as well.

Absolutely lovely place.
The coast is wonderful. The view from the lighthouse is stunning. There are 248 stairs that lead to the lighthouse. Unfortunately no seals whatsoever at this time of year (December).

Incredible place in the most southerly point of the North Island.
No people around, just the sound of the wind and waves. And then the biggest colony of sea lions there are in the North Island.

The 5 hours I have spent here made it one of the most memorable days of my life.
The whole area is 10/10 beautiful and that is only a bonus to the main attraction of watching seals. Went there in March and the place was full of very young seals playing with each other. Couldn't get any better.

The stairs up to the lighthouse are a bit vicious but it is all worth it for the view.
Plus the hundreds of fur seals that live along the coast made this one of my favourite spots in New Zealand thus far.

Absolutely amazing place, beautiful scenery, lovely drive although tight in some areas so take your time, it's well worth it.
We got to see many fur seal adults and pups but most memorable we were lucky to have an enormous elephant seal only ten metres away sunning with the others just the most memorable sight ever. This is definitely worth taking the time to drive out and experience this beautiful location.
