The cape is home to a lighthouse, built in 1864, and a colony of over 100 Northern Royal Albatrosses, which established itself in 1919. Pilots Beach located just inside the harbour entrance harbours a wealth of marine life, such as New Zealand Fur seals and Hooker's Sea Lions. Also the largest colony of little or blue penguins remaining on the Otago Peninsula. Nearby are important breeding habitats of the threatened yellow-eyed penguin. There may also be seen a large number of dolphins or migratory large whales.
