Okay, this doesn't actually look as good as it felt! This is Hot Water Beach. 5 minutes from Hahei and Cathedral Cove. At low tide people go out with shovels and dig their own 'spa pools', the water is hot, yep, hot! In some places it's actaully boiling so you have to be careful where you dig. One spot is perfect, 2 inches away it can be downright chilly or so boiling that you will swear that this "is the stupidest thing I've ever done"...but if you play your cards right and follow the Germans(there are a few of them and for some weird reason they know where to dig?) you can score yourselves a fantastic hot pool of mineral water for yourself. It was great. Piper loved it, Nana loved it, Daddy loved it and I loved it too! Great for soaking your weary muscles after a tough day on the beach.
