This study investigated the thermo-hydrodynamic groundwater environment of a sandy beach where unique sand bathing method attracts many visitors. The discussed temperatures covered wide range, from normal to boiling temperature water. We, at first, examined feasible conditions for and found that volumetric water content was crucial factor. Comprehensive field observations were implemented elucidate two physical quantities: flow in layer. latter one be governed by level tidal fluctuations. characteristics obtained consistent with landward area. While offshore area, proved have suddenly dropped. These results strongly suggest underground heat source is distributed specific spots. A numerical model describe flows transfer mechanism developed based on saturated/unsaturated seepage model. computational adequately reproduce observed spatial distribution. reproduction ability limited terms temporal variations; it good level, but not sand.
