| Hot Water Beach on the Coromandel Peninsula |
Hot Water Beach is just what the name suggests. At low tide, near the rocky outcrop along the sands, holes can be dug into the sand and you can feel the hot water bubble up to the surface. You can carve out a hole for your feet or your whole body and have your own private sauna on the beach! Better yet, you can even adjust the temperature! Last time I was there, by digging holes at different places on the sand different sorts of water bubbled up, all the way from tepid warmth to boiling hot. So you can get the experience you want, if you're prepared to do a bit of digging.
Since this location is so popular and a world renowned attraction, it might even be a good idea to visit in the winter time, as when I visited it was the height of the summer months (New Zealand's summer stretches from November - March) and packed to the brim. With more space comes more privacy and more room to experiment, and get your water temperature just right :)
