Bridge Point is about one km south of Ōrore All Day Bay along Waianakarua Road on the North Otago Coast. There is plenty of space to park on the Point. The Point is mostly grassed and bounded by cliffs. There is a fabulous view south along Te Hakapureirei Beach. Scrambling down to a small beach below the cliff between Ōrore Point and Bridge Point is possible on the north side.
As with Cape Wanbrow in Ōamaru and Kakanui Point to the north, Bridge Point is the eroded remnant of a volcano that erupted 32 – 36 million years ago. At the southeast of the Point is a rocky section at the top of the natural bridge the name refers to. You can see the bridge more clearly from Te Hakapureirei Beach and walk through it at low tide.
