A named headland on Christchurch’s coast, off Lyttelton, as the open map records it.
The map also records “Te Nukutai o Tapoa” and “Erskine Point”, the page answers to all of them.
The pin is OpenStreetMap’s own position for the headland, a bay’s pin sits on the water it names, a headland’s on the point. Neighbours on the register are near it, not the same record.
The record behind this
The position and the names are OpenStreetMap’s, a named bay or cape inside the city boundary (ODbL). The dual names are recorded as the map carries them; a pin is the mapper’s position, not a surveyed mark.
