A dedicated stargazing spot near Kaikōura’s coast, ideal for Milky Way and crisp constellations when skies are clear. Visit on moonless nights for darker frames, and use the surrounding darkness to include sweeping foreground silhouettes (roads/low vegetation). Cold, calm coastal air often boosts sky clarity—bring warm layers and a headlamp.
