My Favourite Walk
Sea lions and seals an attraction By Yvonne van Aerden at Sandfly Bay
W
e had never visited Sandfly Bay which is about 20 minutes from Dunedin and is a 3km return walk taking one hour 30 minutes, plus the time you spend down on the beach. So one day we thought we would go and explore Sandfly Bay. This was not a huge walk but sounded interesting. From the carpark we went across some private farmland and then reached the huge sand dunes, from where you could see down to the beach (it was still a fair distance away). There had been rain the day before Above: A broad view of Sandfly Bay. Below left: Seals and sea lions rsting on the sand.
