Lawyers Head

The promontory, which reaches a height of 34 m, is connected to the city by the road John Wilson Ocean Drive, which runs parallel to the beach.

John Wilson Ocean Drive was closed from August 2006, to allow construction of the Tahuna Wastewater Treatment Plant outfall.

[2] One of a series of headlands which punctuate much of this section of the Otago coast, it is its proximity to the centre of the city and its distinctive shape which make it particularly well known.

Lawyers Head is an integral part of Chisholm Park Golf Links, developed by the city of Dunedin in 1933.

The promontory is also located close to Andersons Bay Cemetery, which lies immediately inland from Lawyers Head.
