Top 10 beaches to visit in autumn

TripAdvisor.com has just released a list of the Top 10 Autumn Beach Destinations in the world.

1. Fiji
2. Pattaya, Thailand
3. Cook Islands
4. Bali
5. Luzon, Philippines
6. Khao Lak, Thailand
7. Dunedin, New Zealand
8. Port Vila, Vanuatu
9. Koror, Palau
10. Queensland

I can’t believe they ranked Dunedin number 7. Anyone who has been to Dunedin in autumn knows what I’m talking about. The last thing you want to be doing in Dunedin in autumn is to be sitting on a beach.  I wonder if it’s all those people from Invercargill heading north for a beach holiday skewing the results ;)

OK jokes aside, I’ll be heading down to Dunedin next week so I’ll find out for myself why Dunedin’s on the list. I haven’t been to Dunedin in 8 years, but my guess is not much has changed in that time.

    Well you’re right on that one! Dunedin hasn’t really changed much. The buildings are always the same, sometimes the shops in them change.

    My advice – sit in a cafe with a nice warm drink. There’s certainly plenty of them and that’s pretty much what I end up doing whenever I’m there :)

    Forgotten that Dunedin is that much colder than Auckland…
    Couldn’t see much from St Kilda, as it was drizzling all day every day. Now I remember why I chose to live in Auckland ;)
