The most popular time to visit Hot Water Beach is during the summer months, from December to February. The weather is wonderfully warm, with temperatures generally ranging from 20°C to 25°C, creating great conditions for enjoying the beach and digging your own hot pool in the sand.


During this peak period, the beach is bustling with activity, and the vibrant setting is fantastic for families and couples looking to make the most of the long, sunny days.

The main beach activity to do in Hot Water Beach is digging your own hot water pool in the sand.


This great experience involves finding a spot on the beach where the geothermally heated water seeps up through the sand. You'll need to dig a hole of your preferred size and shape, allowing the hot water to fill it, creating a natural spa. It's best done during the two hours either side of low tide when the hot water is accessible. You can bring your own spade or hire one locally.


Couples often enjoy this as a relaxing and novel experience. It's a chance to unwind together in your own private, natural hot tub, listening to the sound of the ocean.


Families with children also find this activity very engaging. Kids love the hands-on fun of digging in the sand and the excitement of creating their own warm pool.
