Tunnel Beach
Tunnel Beach is a locality southwest of the city centre of Dunedin, New Zealand. Located just south of St Clair, Tunnel Beach has sea-carved sandstone cliffs, rock arches and caves.〔(Dunedin New Zealand, Tunnel Beach ) ''New Zealand Tourism Guide''〕 Beyond the beauty of the rugged sandstone cliffs, its claim to fame is the tunnel down to the beach that a local politician, John Cargill, son of Captain William Cargill, had commissioned for his family in the 1870s.〔(Tunnel Beach ) (from the New Zealand Department of Conservation website. Retrieved 2007-10-09.)〕
Access to the beach is via a track across private farmland, and is open year round excluding lambing season from August to October. The track was opened in 1983, and is a popular walking track. It descends from above sea level at its start, a short distance off Blackhead Road, winding for some 1200 metres to the top of the tunnel close to a natural sea arch. The tunnel descends 72 steps to the beach, and is dimly naturally lit.〔Hamel, A. (2007) ''Dunedin tracks and trails.'' Dunedin: Silver Peaks Press. ISBN 978-0-473-13772-4. p. 3.05〕 Note that the path down is steep and can be very slippery following wet weather.
