Description

Alternative NameJack's PointTūhawaiki PointDescriptionTūhawaiki was a Kāi Tahu leader from Murihiku in the lower South Island, who was nicknamed 'Bloody Jack' by the sealers of Foveaux Strait. He drowned in 1844 just off the coast of Timaru, approximately 5km south of the township- and this location now bears his name.

The Lighthouse that stands at Tūhawaiki Point was built in 1903 by the Timaru Harbour Board. Tūhawaiki Point is now part of a popular coastal walkway.
