Sandfly Bay is a bay with large dunes on the Otago Peninsula, 15 km east of central Dunedin.It was named after the sand which, given the windy nature of this coast, flies from the dunes surrounding the bay. Towering sand dunes descend onto a wide beach. Headlands and coastal rock formations shelter the area from the elements.
Due to its quiet nature this beach has the possibility for some discrete nude bathing. The (DOC) has constructed wooden hides for the public and DOC staff to view Yellow-eyed Penguin activity without disturbance. Yellow-eyed Penguin activity here is now very limited due to human interference. So please be careful not to go near the penguins, or inadvertently block their passage from or to the sea.
