Coromandel Pennisula- It's a Beautiful World!

On the Coromandel Peninsula - about ninety minutes drive from Auckland - there is a beach called Hot Water Beach - you pick a nice bit of sand and dig a hole for yourself. Hot sea water, warmed by underground volcanic activity, fills it up from underneath and you sit in it drinking wine and watching the waves roll in on the white sands. A natural and free hot jacuzzi! Bliss!!!!
