Stunning sea-carved sandstone cliffs, rock arches & cavesMan-made tunnel carved through sandstone cliff to tidal beachPerfect cliff top picnic spotGreat for all ages
Located 7.5km from Dunedin City Centre just off Blackhead Rd, Tunnel Beach is an accessible short walk with ample parking available.
Approximately 1200m long, the track begins with a descent of 150m (490m) to the top of a small tunnel next to an extremely remarkable sea arch. 72 often slippery steps lead through a small man-made tunnel down to beach level. The beach almost disappears at high tide so make sure to check the local tide table, however even at high-tide this walk yields impressive views.
Wonderful walk for all ages. Perfect spot for a picnic atop the sea arch.Also a very romantic spot at sunset. :)
NO Dogs.
Swim with caution.
Closed for lambing 1 Aug - 31 Oct.
