Surf: St Clair is the hub of Dunedin surfing, sometimes blessed with good quality beachbreak peaks and when there’s a big S swell, the long right point near the saltwater hot pools sections off over rock, sand and kelp. Any N wind variation and picks up all the swell from the south. Environment: Plenty of other beaches in the area to spread the crowds like Tomahawk, Lawyers Head and St Kilda. All facilities.
