When we woke up on Saturday morning the weather was less than favorable, and we were a bit nervous about what we were in for considering in a few hours we would be going to Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove. We ate breakfast and decided to do a walk, to the lookout that our hostel suggested.
We walked up to this lookout and it was beautiful. When we got back down we went back to our hostel and got ready to leave. Coromandel Adventures pick us up and we were on our way for the day. Coromandel Adventures is a new business and has only been operating for seven weeks. They were great; we did several things through them throughout the weekend and had a great experience.
On the way to Hot Water Beach we drove over we learned that for two hours on either side of low tide you can dig a hole in part of the sand, in front of a rocky area where hot water oozes up from beneath the surface. It is like a natural spa pool. We arrived walked down what seemed to be an almost deserted beach until the middle where all of a sudden it was packed, this was the spot. Several of us on the tour dug a hole, ran into the ocean and then back to the hot water pool. Our hole was right by the hottest spring but it was good because we were near the ocean so we had a good mix of hot and cool. The group we were with for they day was full of fun people so that made it even better.
Then after spending about two hours at Hot Water Beach we headed off to Cathedral Cove. More about that tomorrow.
