LOVELY CLEAN BEACH.

Feb 2020

Dunedin Beach is a sweeping white sand beach which is just minutes from central city. Lovely crystal clear blue water.

Stunning place

Oct 2020

Not the warmest of days to go to the beach, however it was breathtaking. Small coffee shops and areas to sit was great. This will be magical in summer

A very clean and sandy beach

Jan 2020

The wind and waves were very strong and the water cold. It did not stop numerous surfers from being out on the water. The beach is very long and walkable.

Dunedin has beautiful bays and beaches

Nov 2019

In and around Dunedin are many beautiful bays and beaches, many of them are yellow sand beaches, some of them are grey or b;ack sand beaches. The beaches are good for surfers, swimmers and other watersport activities. Also wildlife can be seen on the beaches such as sea lions, fur seals and penguins.

A great beach, and very accessible

Feb 2019 • Friends

We enjoyed a stroll along here on a windy day. Surf was up and we did see a few people loving it. Finding a parking space was a bit difficult though.

Gorgeous beach right in the city!

Jul 2018 • Friends

This is a most beautiful beach- easy to walk for miles and miles. Lots of amenities and great restaurants. So happy to see the new cafe in operation and revitalising the often unloved salt water pool. On a lovely winters day- it was the perfect place to be.

Rocks, Rocks and more Rocks!

Jul 2018 • Couples

A friend highly recommended this beach so husband and I went. I was a little disappointed. First, the good things:

Enough Parking
Nice little stores/souvenir shops
Nice view

However, the beach is full of rocks, makes it hard to walk along the shore and get in the water. It’s not the kind of beach to walk barefoot. There is a fee for parking so make sure you to do the research before going.
