context_page_description: Blueskin Bay is an estuary in coastal Otago, about 25 km north of Dunedin, New Zealand.
  The name also unofficially describes the rural district which includes the northern slopes of Mount Cargill, the southern slopes of the Kilmog, and the townships of Doctors Point, Waitati, Evansdale, Warrington, and Seacliff.
context_section_description: The Waitati River and Careys Creek enter Blueskin Bay at its southwest and northwest corners. A long sand spit from the northern headland closes the bay to a small channel to the Pacific Ocean at the southeast corner. Rabbit Island lies just inside this entrance.
  Critically endangered, endemic Hector's dolphins live around the bay.
