An amazing little cove which shows another side of New Zealand's varied landscape.
Clear turqouise waters, huge rocks to jump off, great photo opportunities!!
You get there after a bit of a walk....but its worth it

The main attraction in Whitianga, the Hot Water Beach.
Basically at certain points in the sea, the water is BOILING hot due to geothermal activity underneath.
You bury your feet down in the sand and all of a sudden your feet are burning!!!
This is heavily visited by tourists (even in Winter) so don't expect to be the only ones here.
A must do if you come to Whitianga!

Just across the harbour from the wharf there are some interesting rock formations.
Catch the ferry across and go take a look. Makes nice viewing from the town beach as well.

Whitianga town is right on the beach, so be sure to walk around and take in the beaches, Norfolk Pines and Date palms.
Relax, wind down, and enjoy a special part of paradise.
