What's more relaxing than bathing in nature's energy?

Overview

Hot Water Beach isn't your everyday picturesque shoreline. This incredible destination is where travellers can experience naturally heated mineral water rising through the sand. 

All you have to do is head to the southern end of the beach and dig a little spa. Then, it's just a matter of climbing inside for something resembling a jacuzzi powered by the earth.

For the best experience, plan your visit for two hours on either side of low tide. This is when the water level is low enough to expose this natural warming phenomenon.
