North East Point gives a stunning view of Boatswainbird Island and is a haven for spotting birds without the lengthy hiking required of the bird protected areas. Many of Ascension's seabird species can be seen flying along this stretch of coast in the early evening, travelling from fishing grounds out at sea to roosting sites on Boatswainbird Island and Letterbox Peninsula.
You can find the following flora and fauna at the North East Point Conservation Point:
