Hot Water Beach

There is an underground river that flows to the surface of the Pacific Ocean at Hot Water Beach that is located on the Coromandel Peninsula. Two hours either side of low tide you can dig away at the beach to find hot water bubbling up through the golden sand. It is best to visit Hot Water Beach within two hours either side of low tide.

We however were here at high tide but we could feel the heat in the sand and enjoyed walking along this shore. Yes, the sky is this blue. Yes, the sand is that golden and the water that clear green.
