This is now a cameo 2L snap lock box. Hidden at same spot but big enough for many TBs. No SWAGs please.
There are toilets, changing rooms, children playground and picnic benches. Also access to a small beach.
The main car park is via a sandy track, so if you are not happy taking car down it then park on layby near toilet block.

Te Rauone beach is located near the end of Otago Peninsula, 2 km from Taiaroa Head and 28 km from the Dunedin city centre.
Over the past 6 decades, the sea has eroded Te Rauone beach to such an extent that, particularly north of the Reserve, areas that were above the high water mark are now underwater at low tide. As the erosion moves southwards, the sand dunes are diminishing.
The community has lost not only the beach and dunes, but also the community activities that take place on the beach. The erosion has been a long-standing problem and is a challenging issue for the community to live with. There is a degree of frustration and despondency amongst the residents that no solution has yet been forthcoming. However, the Breakwater / Sand Nourishment Project offers a long-awaited solution.
Please note there are Sea Lions sometimes on the beach.
