Avoid the arduous trek to Sandfly in Dunedin, where the steep and challenging mountain paths make it tough to enjoy the views. Instead, head straight to Shag Point Lookout, nestled between Dunedin and Oamaru. This scenic spot is a haven for nature lovers, with seals basking on the rocks and playing in the waves at every turn. The breathtaking coastal views and abundant wildlife make it a must-visit destination.








I’ve always wanted to see sea lions up close! Shag Point Lookout sounds perfect—those coastal views combined with the chance to observe them in their natural habitat would be unforgettable. I’ll definitely add this to my travel list next time I’m in the area.
That sounds like an amazing experience! Shag Point Lookout is indeed one of the best spots for a safe and unforgettable encounter with sea lions. Their playful behavior and the stunning coastal scenery make it a must-visit. Enjoy your trip and don’t forget your camera!
