“Dubbed the wildlife capital of New Zealand for its rare and endangered seabird and marine mammal populations, the Otago Peninsula is as beautiful as it is wild.”
The many quality surf beaches on the peninsula are fuelled directly from the Southern Ocean storms that wash up the edge of New Zealand. Allan’s Beach is one of the all- time favourites, for its consistency and quality. The white-sand beach is offshore in a northwest with the southern corner handling any wind clocking around to the southwest. It can get very big here, with the Hoopers Inlet mouth producing the best banks when the swell is maxing. On smaller days, you can usually find your own peak directly in front of the carpark, which is behind the dunes in a stand of old man pines on the north side of the inlet. There are plenty of sea lions here and they like to herd the humans out of the water, so take care.
