Tunnel Beach Walking Track

This is a very nice and scenic place just outside Dunedin, towards south.The access to the beach is via a private property, though it is easy.The walkway to the beach is downhill and can be slippery on a rainy day.The views from the top of the cliff are majestic and well enjoyed on a sunny day.The brown sandstone cliffs make it even more beautiful. Certainly there is a similarity between the Great Ocean Road in Melbourne and this place.Access to the beach is via a narrow downhill tunnel with narrow steps in it. Caution is required while climbing down, due to dampness.The views and the rocky beach are worth the effort to climb down and come up.We also got to see a seal relaxing on the rocks, which was a big bonus. It did feel scary to go such close to it though.Highly recommended place to spend half a day.

A great, yet rather steep walk. Absolutely worth the effort, especially on a gorgeous sunny day!

Superb track to reach the Tunnel beach. It is very when you go to the beach and quite a good work out when you come up. You can see a marvellous view of the beach and the cliff while you walk.

A hidden gem for sure! What a beautiful walk! The views are lovely and the sounds of the waves are so relaxing. Must do when in Dunedin.

An absolutely stunning coastline, but be prepared to work for it. Steep down, and steep up, but totally worth it. The track is very well maintained, with portaloos at the entrance to the track. Dogs aren't allowed on this track so leave your Good Boy or Good Girl at home. If you take your wee kids, be prepared to hold their hands very tightly as you descend and walk around the cliffs, and also a high chance they'll want you to carry them back up the hill!

A truly amazing piece of coastline and so close to the city of Dunedin. Track is a prolonged walk with fairly steep gradient. The walk is worth the effort for sure

A definite must do in Dunedin. A downhill trek all the way down the trail and tunnel to a closed up beach. Time your trek so you are there when the tide is low. Took us 30 mins to head to the beach including time spent taking pictures at the beach and another 20 mins up again. Take note of signs and be careful not to get too close the edges as it can be deceiving how dangerous it can be. Searched online and found articles of a few accidents before. No surprises with many people getting up close to the edge!

Truly hidden gem. Never miss and must visit place. Just 20 min drive from Dunedin city. Get ready for steep walk and climb back. Give about an hour and half. Must walk down the Tunnel and experience huge cliffs and rocks with battering waves.

Great view - steep walk
