Sandy Point Domain
Sandy Point / Oue Domain
A protected reserve of dunes and scrub at the Ōreti River mouth, with trails, mountain bike tracks and birdwatching spots.
Sandy Point Domain covers about 2,000 hectares southwest of Invercargill. It includes dunes, coastal scrub, the Rōta River mouth and pine forest. Locals come here on weekends to hike, mountain bike, walk dogs and fish. Trails vary in length, and a visitor centre can provide maps. Wading birds can be spotted around the river mouth. Entry is free, and it's about 15 minutes by car from the city. Combine it with a visit to Oreti Beach.
