Tunnel
Beach
·
The beach has massive sandstone
boulders, mysterious graffiti carved into the cliffs and a dangerous rip that
sadly drowned Cargill's youngest daughter.
·
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, a son of Captain William Cargill, had made for
his family in the 1870s.
·
The track was opened in 1983.
·
It is rumoured he gave it to his
daughter's as a birthday present.
·
Tunnel Beach has been called the most
romantic spot in Dunedin.
