🏖️ Tunnel Beach

New Zealand · Oceania · 45.92°S, 170.46°E

Tunnel Beach is a locality 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi) southwest of the city centre of Dunedin, New Zealand. Located just south of St Clair, Tunnel Beach has sea-carved sandstone cliffs, rock arches and caves. The beach's claim to fame is the man-made tunnel dug by local politician John Cargill, son of Captain William Cargill, who had commissioned for his family in the 1870s. Urban legend states that one or more of Cargill's daughters drowned while swimming at the beach, but there is no truth to this story.
