Sunrise
massive sandstone boulders and mysterious graffiti carved into the cliffs.
Best visited at low tide (0912 25/1)
20 minute walk downhill from the car park on Tunnel Beach Road through private farm land takes you to a magnificent sandstone sea arch and man-made tunnel to the secluded beach with fossil filled cliffs on all sides.

Swimming beach
This beautiful white sandy beach is split by the Mole, a long breakwater stretching out into the harbour entrance
Walk when the seas are big
Watch the albatrosses swooping into Taiaroa Head on the other side the harbour.
There is a track and boardwalk that takes you through the tidal salt marshes and huge sandhill down the northern end of the beach. The settlement is full of classic kiwiana cribs.
