Hot Water Beach "Te Puia" is settled in a sheltered microclimate where you can dive for crayfish, enjoy fishing, kayaking, swimming, surfing, sunbathing and of course take advantage of the Hot Water Beach pools!
The hot springs can normally be accessed 2 hours either side of low tide. A spa temperature is between 38 - 42°C and as the hot springs on the beach are considerably more at 64°C you have to be careful where you dig to get the optimum temperature. If swimming in the ocean to cool off from the hot pools please be aware that there can be rip currents either side of the rock that sits just out to sea (Hot Rock).
