Introduction
Tunnel Beach Track on Dunedin's south coast is a dramatic clifftop walk named for a 30 m tunnel hand-cut through the sea cliffs in the 1870s by a local family seeking a private beach. Steep stairs and the tunnel lead down to the beach, passing sea arches, sandstone cliffs and Pacific surf; about 1.5 hours return, it is Dunedin's most photogenic coastal hike.
