We made a trip across to Hot Water Beach. It’s a unique beach on the Pacific. Hot springs run just under the surface of the beach in a few places making the sand toasty warm under your feet. This also means that even on a relatively cold and rainy day, if you dig a hole in the sand, you’ll have very warm water bubbling out of the hot spring. Sounds good, right? Count us in.
We hired a spade for a few dollars and started digging!
We arrived within the best digging time, two hours before and after low tide. Although not the only people there, it really wasn’t too busy. Remember, it is winter here, and rainy, so that draws less of a crowd than the warm, sunny months.
Successfully snug in our hot pool!
We did brave a dip in the ocean. As expected, it was frigid and jumping back in our hot pool was delightful. It was also pleasant during all the rain that came through. Really, it’s a great spot to be on a rainy day.
Part 2: Cathedral Cove
We finally went hiking! The loop took about 2 hours. Again, we had pretty good timing. The rain was spotty on our way out, plenty of sun and dryness to for pictures.
On the way back, it poured.
