Te Puia / Hot Water Beach

A famous geothermal beach on the Coromandel Peninsula where natural hot springs warm the sand and shallow water. Suitable for all levels, swimming is best achieved by digging into warm sand to create a natural thermal pool. Plan your visit around low tide (2-3 hours either side) for optimal thermal activity.
