The Admiral’s Arch is a remnant of the ancient cave that was broken by ocean waves and transformed into a natural bridge. Stalactites are still hanging off the top of the arch as the evidence of its unusual history. The arch presents a geological significance and designated as a geological monument.

As a bonus, this place is quite popular among New Zealand’s fur-seals – if you’re lucky, you will see a lot of them playing, feeding or resting on the rocky base of the arch. Please do not approach them and stay on viewing platform.
