It´s a hard to find place. But it´s worth to be found. The access is not so easy, very steep, .The beach is a lonely one therefore.I´m glad that I ´ve seen it.And you should know the story about. But there hasn´t been an information.A father built the tunnel because he wouldn´t like that others see his daughter going to the beach.
The only way down to the beach is a steep decline but it is well worth it. The Cargill family in 1872 carved 72 steps through solid rock so their daughter could reach the beach. Besides that the views are fantastic.
I have been to tunnel beach three times, make sure the tide is out and go early in the morning. It's a really beautiful spot with amazing rock formations and natural beauty. Take a wee picnic to enjoy on the beach, make sure you take a camera to capture the 'wow factor'.
What a hidden trasure, down a steep hill and then the hand carved tunne; appears to the left down to the beach, stunning seascapes
a bit of a walk down but amazing when you get down to see the view, the holes in the huge rocks, the sea. Look to your left and go down the man made tunnel steps to come out on the beautiful secluded beach well worth the effort of walking back up the steep incline believe me. Dont forget your stuff as too much effort to pop back to the car. The road to the beach is not well signposted so keep your eyes open for it and not very much parking at the bottom.
Quite a bit of walk, especially the uphill walk on the return journey. But it's worth the walk to get close to the beach and enjoy the view of the rocks and the ocean.
Easier at low tide, but beautiful anytime. Take a picnic and enjoy! Very easy walk to get there. Tunnel is cool. Beach is phenomenal site.
Wow, beautiful beach and scenery. Long walk down to beach and very difficult one the way back up. Not recommended if you have mobility or health issues but if you're relativley fit and healthy well worth the walk down.
Be prepared for a short walk down and a longer walk back but it's worth it when you get down to the little seat with the view of the sea on the cliff top... then you see the tunnel...
