Tunnel Beach

Tunnel Beach


On the Sunday of our first full weekend in Dunedin Emma and I decided to hitch a bus to Tunnel Beach. We missed our bus by just a few minutes, so we spent an hour hanging out in the Octagon getting subway – warning: here it’s $7.50 footlong, not such a nice ring eh? We finally got on the bus and ended up getting a cheaper fare. I asked if there was a student discount, the driver asked if I was in school, I said yes, not realizing that school means high school, and saved a dollar. Yay!



After the bus dropped us off we took a nice walk along the road and ended up at the Tunnel Beach entrance. Flip-flops were a poor choice for walking down the hill to the beach.  The view was unbelievable. Sandstone carved by the sea over the years (think geological time) has created massive cliffs, caves and arches. It was high tide and the wind was picking up, but it was still an awesome afternoon experience. I will definitely be going back, with a picnic ready, for a longer stay.
