Pancake Rocks are a coastal geological formation located near Punakaiki within the boundaries of Paparoa National Park on the South Island of New Zealand. Characterized by layered limestone formations, the rocks at Dolomite Point exhibit a stacked pancake-like appearance due to the erosion of alternating thin mudstone layers and limestone strata. The layered rock structure, coastal erosion features, and blowholes make the Pancake Rocks one of the natural formations within Paparoa National Park.
