You can't got to the Coromandel, and not take visitors to the famous Hot Water Beach. Within two hours either side of low tide, it is possible to dig into the sand allowing hot water to escape to the surface forming a hot water pool.

Too hot to put your feet in, but it was very nice sitting in the opposite side of our dig out
