The Nuggets are a cluster of rocky islets off Nugget Point, a steep coastal headland at the northern end of the Catlins coast on the Otago coastline of New Zealand, near Kaka Point. A lighthouse built from locally quarried stone stands at the tip of the point above the surrounding islets. The headland and its waters are ecologically significant, hosting yellow eyed penguins that breed in nearby Roaring Bay along with fur seals and other seabirds.
