Can I take my dog on Tunnel Beach Walk?
No, dogs are not allowed on Tunnel Beach Walk. DOC, which manages the Tunnel Beach Recreation Reserve, states 'No dogs' to protect the critically endangered coastal turf on the headland. Dunedin City Council's page mentions dogs on a lead, but that covers the council car park, not the DOC track itself, so the reserve rule is no dogs. Department of Conservation has the details.
