Dee Why Rockpool

“Great spot by the main Dee Why beach!! Always used by families, with 2 pools of different length and depth, making it friendly for kids too. Breathtaking from a Birds Eye view! You can see from an aerial view how the shape really complements the beach and rocks.”

“I’m a huge fan of the **Dee Why Rockpool** for my swimming routine. Much like my other local favorites, this is the perfect sanctuary to get some laps in when the beach is looking a bit too rough for comfort. The standout feature here is definitely the size; it has the added bonus of being larger than the Collaroy pool, which makes a world of difference when you're trying to find a clear lane. While it certainly gets a bit crowded with the weekend crowds and local families, the extra space ensures it never feels too cramped for a serious workout. It’s a beautifully maintained spot with a great coastal vibe overall, a great place for any ocean swimmer!”

“Rock Pool Dee Why is the perfect balance of ocean views, space, and family-friendly swimming. The separate pool for children is a great feature, providing a safe and relaxed environment for families. The bathrooms and showers were clean and in good working condition, which makes the overall experience even more comfortable. A lovely place to swim, relax, and enjoy the coastline.”
