A completely unique experience to the Coromandel, Hot Water Beach is a must-do for any visitor to the area. There is nowhere else in New Zealand where this natural phenomenon occurs so be sure to make the most of your time in the area and check out this beach.


Within two hours either side of low tide visitors flock to the usually deserted Hot Water Beach to find hot water bubbling through the golden sand. Families, kids, and couples can be seen digging their own spa pool in the sand and relaxing in the natural springs. Often rated as one of the world's most renowned beaches - this is one experience that should be on your bucket list.
