NEW ZEALAND // On the eastern side of the Coromandel Peninsula is a natural phenomenon unlike any other. For two hours either side of low tide, natural hot-spring waters well up beneath the sand. Visitors dig in to create hot tubs, relaxing in the warm sandy water as the surf breaks just feet away. Nearby are the ruins of one of the earliest villages of the Mãori Ngäti Hei tribe, and the golden sands of Cathedral Cove.
