Dunedin City Drive Tour | Rainy Day | St Clair Beach To City Centre | New Zealand Driving Tour 4K

Video date: 23 January 2025 Facing the wild blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean, St Clair Beach boasts New Zealand’s most consistent surf break and on any given day, summer or winter, the waves are a playground for local surfers. The St Clair Esplanade has long been a popular leisure destination for weekend walks or dips in the sea, with the cafes and bars lining the promenade an attraction in their own right. These eateries are something of a mecca in the summer months and the outdoor tables offer an excellent vantage point to watch the world go by. At the end of the beach sits the St Clair Hot Salt Water Pool(opens in new window), which dates back to 1884 and is one of the only heated seawater pools in New Zealand. For water sports enthusiasts, there are surfing lessons and board hire available on the Esplanade during the summer months and by arrangement other times during the year. There are a number of accommodation options in the vicinity with views over the beach, which is a ten-minute drive from the city centre. There are regular public bus services to and from the city. Dunedin is the second-largest city in the South Island of New Zealand (after Christchurch) with a population of 120,000. And it is the principal city of the Otago region. Known as the Edinburgh of New Zealand, Dunedin wears its Scottish heritage with pride. Surrounded by dramatic hills and at the foot of a long, picturesque harbour, Dunedin is one of the best-preserved Victorian and Edwardian cities in the Southern Hemisphere. The urban area of Dunedin lies on the central-eastern coast of Otago, surrounding the head of Otago Harbour, and the harbour and hills around Dunedin are the remnants of an extinct volcano. The city suburbs extend out into the surrounding valleys and hills, onto the isthmus of the Otago Peninsula, and along the shores of the Otago Harbour and the Pacific Ocean.
