Allans Beach

Dunedin

As a rule, beaches are at their best with blue skies and sunshine. But this can be a bit hit and miss around the Otago Peninsula, as with our visit to Allans Beach. The grey low cloud did add drama, plus the interesting cliffs, wind-blown surf, sea lions, and even a solitary fur seal. Also, spot the artistic endeavour with the kelp!⁠

To get to Allans Beach, take Hoopers Inlet Road from Sandymount Road all the way around the far side of the inlet, then follow Allans Beach Rd to the end. It’s a short walk across a field and through dune grass to the beach.⁠

This beach is one of the more remote options on the peninsula, but it is still easily accessible from the car park.⁠
