Hot Water Beach

The clue is in the name of this one! Today can only be described as an east coast of Coromandel tour, starting off with Hot Water Beach.

I shared a dorm last night with a girl from LA and a girl from Santiago (Chile). We made a plan to go to Hot Water Beach the next day, which had to be for low tide so a 7am departure it was!

This place can only be described as an adult sandcastle building site. As you dig into the sand, water immediately fills any holes dug. The water varies in temperature depending on which spot you dig, with some of the water being almost boiling! We dug ourselves a pool that was half boiling water and half cooler water, which made a good mix, but the boiling half was totally unusable.

We spent a few hours here and I absolutely loved this unique place!Read more
