    Natural Hot Springs Beneath the sand, geothermal activity heats underground water to temperatures of up to 64°C (147°F). During low tide, this hot water rises through the sand, allowing visitors to dig their own hot pools right on the beach. DIY Experience Visitors bring shovels (available for hire nearby) to create personal spa-like pools in the sand. The experience is both fun and relaxing, offering a unique way to connect with New Zealand’s geothermal wonders.
