For two hours either side of low tide visitors dig their own spa pools in the sand as water as hot as sixty-four degrees rises to the surface, drawing hundreds of thousands of people a year. The headland of Te Puia above the beach was a fortified pā of Ngāti Hei, one of the earliest iwi to settle the Coromandel, and the area remains deeply significant to them.
