The coastal feature is a long fine sandy beach with several rock caves.  Access via the Blueskin Bay-Port Chalmers road.  I have been through the caves myself

So named from the number of Dunedin's doctors who had holiday houses here. To get to Doctors Point one makes his or her way over the Northern Motorway from dunedin, and once at Waitati turn right into the township. Then it is a left turn into Pitt Street, and follow the road for about five kilometres. The domain is actually private property, so it should be treated with due respect. Once the vehicle is parked, it is jist a minutes stroll onto a nice beach which views the rush of the water in or out of Blueskin Bay, depending on tides. Doctors Point beach is an interesting place as one can sink about 6 inches to a foot into the sand, (depending on weight) closer to the water’s edge. When the tide is low, one can walk eastward towards a cave, in which one can walk, coming out at Purakaunui Beach

Blueskin bay receives the waters of the Waitati River and various streamlets.  A lagoon backs from the southern end near Waitati, and a popular summer holiday place.  It was named because an old Maori resident was so deeply and thickly tattooed that he was called "Blueskin."

This large expanse is a tidal estuary with a single entrance between Doctors Point to the south and Warrington Spit beach to the north.

The areas which encloses this interesting and sometimes mystic estuary are from South to North are; Doctors Point, Michies Crossing, Waitati, Evansdale, and warrington the last of which has a spit beach, creating an almost landlocked lake, except for the entrance. Surrounding this vast area are a number of farms, communities of lifestyle seekers, as well as residences, and holiday cottages and cribs. The bay catches the waters of the Waitati and various streamlets. When the tide is in, and little breeze, the green hills can be reflected off the water, but at low tide, it is home to many wading birds and interesting aquatic life.

A fishing village and marine resort seaward from Hillgrove, Moeraki is bounded by nice ocean beaches, and to the north there are strange septarian stones which is a geological phenomenon.  The Moeraki Boulders as they are known are visible at all times and there is a restaurant quite close to these objects of curiosity.

Known as White stone city, Oamaru was first surveyed in 1859, and became one of New Zealand’s major seaports. As time went by, other areas became the important seaports. The first commercial areas were in the historic Tyne Street area, and the harbour areas.

Nearly every building consists of Oamaru Stone, a calcium rich building material, quarried from nearby, and can be shaped with any wood saw, but on exposure to the elements become very hard.  The public gardens in Oamaru is very beautiful, and I have visited it when I have been in Oamaru.  Another area is the lookout which affords great views of the town, and environs. Historically Oamaru had been mooted as a import export as
