★★★★★Featured review by Helen Di Domenico

Awesome ocean pool right by the beach. You can walk comfortably along the length of the big pool. Water was clean and crisp. An outdoor shower was there to rinse off the salt. Shaded seating area and one paddle pool had a sail cloth for shade. Really loved our time here - definitely want to come back!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children learning to swim who want an ocean experience in safe, controlled conditions. The absence of tides and rips removes the main coastal hazard, making it suitable for young swimmers — constant adult supervision is essential regardless. The combination of pool and beach access suits a full day out on the Central Coast.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Bring a picnic chair if supervising children under 6 — watching from the edge is easier with a seat
⏰Pack sunscreen and a hat — shade is sparse around the main pool
đŸŽŸī¸Visit at or after sunset for the best harbour views
🚗An outdoor shower is available to rinse off salt water before leaving

“Best place to swim on a hot day 🌞 The beach and the pool are easily accessible and you have a lovely pathway for walking and jogging all along the beach. A good place to bring your family and friends. It's great way for weekends getaway from the crowd in Sydney. 🌝 .🏖🏝🌞”

“I love these baths. Generally always clean. Great view (especially at sunset) and not too busy... not technically lit up for night swims but the flood lights are enough, if u want a night time dip on those steamy nights”
