Tomahawk Beach

New Zealand, New Zealand

Tomahawk Beach is a one‑kilometre‑long white‑sand beach on the Pacific Ocean, about 7.5 km southeast of central Dunedin on New Zealand’s South Island, where the Otago Peninsula joins the mainland.

It lies within the Ocean Grove reserve between St Kilda Beach and Smaills Beach, facing south and offering a rugged, windswept coastline popular with surfers, dog‑walkers, and casual beachgoers seeking a slightly quieter alternative to nearby Ocean Beach.

The beach is backed by dunes and crossed by the Tomahawk Lagoon channel, from which sand is extracted for commercial use and flood control, and visitors sometimes see sea lions and seals along the shoreline. Access is via a short walk through the dunes or around the lagoon from the nearby car park, giving it a semi‑wild, accessible feel just a short drive from the city.
