I went to Tunnel Beach for a grand total of three times…
because it was just so worth it to show all of my friends when they visited!

SO legend has it that Tunnel beach is named because it
obviously has a tunnel, BUT the tunnel isn’t natural or anything. It was built
by some rich guy who wanted his young daughter to have access to this tiny little
beach surrounded by huge rock forms. She threw her birthday party there after
he had it built for her…and a couple years later she ironically drowned on that
beach. Sad story, but an awesome spot to visit :)
The walk down to the tunnel is STEEP, which can only mean
that the way back up is pretty much hell. When you get to the tunnel there is
this awesome rock that extends out high and above the ocean…perfect for that
epic picture! Then you walk down this dark tunnel and enter this little cove
with a waterfall on your left and beach on your right. When the tides are high,
there’s barely any beach and your forced up against the walls of the rocks.
It’s a really awesome spot and I highly recommend seeing it at least once if
you plan on visiting Dunedin!
