Hot Water Beach New Zealand

Hot Water Beach New Zealand

Dig your own hot pool metres from the Pacific Ocean at world-famous Hot Water Beach. Great surf, cafes & art galleries add to this very kiwi experience. Hot Water Beach New Zealand
Naturally heated mineral water bubbles up from deep within the earth to emerge through golden sand at the appropriately named Hot Water Beach. Hot Water Beach New Zealand


Near the rocks at the southern end of the beach you can dig your own spa pool in the sand. Dig up to two hours either side of low tide – that's when the tide is low enough to expose the area of sand with hot water underneath. It's a strange but very pleasant feeling to be lying in a pool of hot water just metres from the refreshing sea. Hot Water Beach New Zealand
If you have a spade or shovel, bring it with you. Otherwise you can hire one from the local cafes. Hot Water Beach New Zealand

From the hot water area, the long sandy beach stretches north and curves east under a headland. Here you'll find sheltered and secluded spots for quiet, sleepy sunbathing. Hot Water Beach New Zealand

For surfers, Hot Water Beach has good beach breaks in moderate easterly swells, however the presence of strong undertows means this beach is often dangerous for swimming.  Hot Water Beach New Zealand
