beach access through a tunnel

Further information: Waikawau Tunnel Beach is a hidden gem located near Waikawau, New Zealand. This pristine black sand beach is accessible via a tunnel that was hand-dug nearly one-hundred years ago. It's a perfect spot to explore and appreciate nature, with lush greenery lining the tunnel and an idyllic stretch of beach awaiting at the end. Visitors can enjoy walking along the shoreline, sunbathing, and picnicking on the flat rocks. Nearby attractions include Mahamudra Centre for Universal Unity, a kayaking tour, and a glass bottom boat tour, so there are plenty of ways to entertain oneself for the day. Whether you're a beach lover or adventurer, Waikawau Tunnel Beach is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
