User / Ian@NZFlickr / Waves at Tunnel Beach
6,384 items
In the 1870’s John Cargill, a son of Dunedin founding father Captain William Cargill, excavated a tunnel down to a secluded beach so that the Cargill families could bathe in privacy away from the prying eyes on the main city beach nearby at St Clair. The beach has massive sandstone boulders, mysterious graffiti carved into the cliffs and a dangerous rip that sadly drowned Cargill's youngest daughter. Tunnel Beach has been called the most romantic spot in Dunedin. You walk from the cliff top down a long dark tunnel to the beach. This day it was full tide and no beach just rocks to stand on and waves coming in nicely through late afternoon light.
Received a Highly Commended at North Shore (Auckland) exhibition.
