- Cathedral Cove - The Natural Archway:
This cove is renowned for its grand cathedral-like limestone arch that links two immaculate beaches. This impressive structure has become a popular destination for photographers and film crews, including its feature in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
Breathtaking Beaches:
The white sandy beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or simply unwinding in a peaceful setting. The beaches are bordered by towering cliffs and native vegetation, enhancing the cove’s dramatic allure.
- Hot Water Beach - Natural Hot Springs:
Underneath the sand, geothermal activity heats underground water to temperatures reaching up to 64°C (147°F). During low tide, this hot water surfaces through the sand, allowing visitors to dig their own hot pools right on the beach.
DIY Experience:
Visitors can bring shovels (available for hire nearby) to craft personal spa-like pools in the sand. This experience is both enjoyable and relaxing, providing a unique opportunity to engage with New Zealand’s geothermal marvels.
