This pools amazing when the sea comes in it comes over the top lovely to swim in not too cold about 18 degrees
A natural sea water pool. It was very cold, as expected, when we went back in early May, although the weather was lovely and sunny. The floor is rocky so rock shoes are a must. Not very deep, even at the deepest part. Easy enough to get to if you're able bodied. Have to climb down a set of stairs and then walk along the pipe walk, scramble over a few rocks and you're there. Free to access. Plenty of paid parking at short walking distance.
Lovely pool filled with sea water. Nice size, not too deep. Kids love it. Take some floatys and tots or just have a swim. Can be cold but wear a wetsuit and your good to go. Be careful getting tomit as there is no pathway and it's uneven, sharp jagged rocks which can get slippery when wet. Perfect for little ones to have a swim.
The pool gets surprisingly busy, we walked past on multiple occasions and pretty much always someone taking a dip! As it's a tidal pool, it refills on a high tide (in fact on high tide you can't even tell the pool is there!)
Very pretty location especially on a sunny day
Fantastic area if you do not want to go on main beach area for you to go swim or just mess about in
Nice sea pool, good place to have a swim when the sun has been on it - warmer than the sea! It's 1.2 metres at the deepest end and slopes back up to the shallow end. Recommend water shoes if you have them - the floor is slippery with seaweed
The sea pool was brilliant to swim in. Much where than the sea and was very easy to get in and out of. Max depth of 1.2m and a sloped entrance so you can slowly get used to the temperature. Nice and clean pool and a great view. Easy to get changed at the side of the pool. @momentsofoutdoors
Definitely take a wander down across the rocks to check out this 120 year-old, Victorian era sea pool! Still open for swimming to this day, but if like us you visit in the winter, it's a little cold for that, still great to look around though and take some photos!
