Kawhia Hot Water Beach, situated in the quaint town of Kawhia on New Zealand’s North Island, offers an unparalleled coastal experience with its dark, iron-rich sand extending over a scenic stretch. Notably famed for its natural hot springs that surface at low tide, visitors can enjoy a unique opportunity to dig their own spa pool right on the beach. This location invites a range of activities including swimming, beachcombing, and soaking in the naturally heated waters to unwind and connect with nature. However, Kawhia Hot Water Beach has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does not have lifeguards on duty, bathroom access, or camping facilities, and it's important to note that dogs and surfing are not permitted here.
