Sydney is widely recognized as one of the world’s most livable cities, and many families enjoy access to swimming pools at home. But for those wanting a special rock pool experience, Sydney boasts several natural rock pools scattered across its city and coastal suburbs that provide spectacular swimming environments – perfect for families with young children, those wanting salt water swimming experiences and those seeking an alternative to overcrowded public beaches.
These sandy pools can be found throughout Sydney’s coastal regions – particularly Coogee and Bondi. Most famous is Coogee Sand-and-Rock Pool (AKA “the Bogey Hole”) which attracts families as well as swimmers of all ages. McIver’s Ladies Baths have provided women and girls with private places to swim since 1870s, and Palm Beach, an exclusive enclave 25 miles north of downtown Sydney where movie stars and moguls vacation is home to its 50-meter beachfront pool that makes an ideal setting for families with young children.
Mahon Pool in Maroubra stands out as another spectacular rock pool. Situated among exposed rocks on an intertidal platform, it can easily be reached via Jack Vanny Reserve’s coastal walking track and offers unparalleled seclusion and privacy. Additionally, Marine Parade car park allows access to this marvel.
