The beautiful coastline around Tunnel Beach is known for its sea-carved cliffs, arches and its secluded beach. Tunnel Beach gets its name from the hand-carved tunnel that provides access from the cliffs to the sandy beach below. From the carpark, it is a short walk down to the viewing point, with spectacular views of the surrounding coastline. Enjoy picnics at the beach, or visit at sunrise for a unique experience.

Remember: The track is quite exposed, sunny in summer or windy in winter. It is recommended to take a sunhat and apply sunscreen. The cliffs are fragile, stay on marked paths.

Personal tip: Look out for seals snoozing on the rocks at the sandy Tunnel Beach.
