sand near the tideline. Hot volcanic mineral water percolates up through
the sand and mixes with cold sea water to create a water temperature just right
for soaking and relaxing.
Scenic Attractions - Hot Water Beach - not far from the Whitianga self-catering holiday home by the ocean: Hot mineral water percolates up through the sand and mixes with sea water. Dig yourself a hot-tub for a relaxing soak.
 About 35 minutes by road from the Front Beach holiday home, Hot Water Beach
is famous for its hot volcanic mineral springs. What's more, they're free for you to enjoy!
Go ahead and dig yourself a family-sized hot-tub in the sand and enjoy a relaxing hot bath with the whole family. Subterranean hot springs bubble up through the sand near the low-tide line. The mineral water is too hot on its own - the trick is to locate your hot pool so incoming waves of cold sea water mix with it until it's just right.
:: Check that the tide is right before you leave for Hot Water Beach. The tide should be low and on its way in again.
::
Take a spade or two to dig your hot tub, as well as a bucket.
