On the southern end of the beach is Te Pare Historic Reserve, which was once the site of two maori pa, Hereheretaura Pa and Hahei Pa.

The track begins at the northern end of Hahei. Visitors flock to Hot Water Beach for the unique experience of digging their own natural pool. Within a certain area, naturally occurring hot water bubbles up to fill holes dug in the sand. For many people coming to the Whitianga area, fishing is the major draw.
