Allans Beach Viewpoint

Dunedin

The second half of the Sandymount Loop Track takes you from Lovers Leap back to the car park. On the way, there is a short marked deviation to a fantastic viewpoint that looks towards Allans Beach and 400-metre-high Mt Charles. Unfortunately, the incoming fog partly obscured the view on the day.⁠⁠

On the maps, a marked trail goes to the cliff edge above the Chasm. But there was no separate sign, and in the fog, we couldn’t see if there was any obvious path.⁠

⁠However, the fog added some drama on the last section of the loop, which passes by an old farm building and then through a tunnel formed by a group of macrocarpa trees planted in rows along a farm road well over 100 years ago. Quite a different feel for NZ.⁠
