  • Amazing location the pool is nice and reasonably maintained. There are no toilets or change rooms connected to the pool. There is an outside shower on the side wall of a closed hut. The nearest toilets are at the ferry wharf which is not really close to the pool. This pool is not suitable for people with mobility issues and is not wheel chair accessible. A chair could be wheeled down the pathway but would have to be carried down some narrow steep stairs to get to the pool. I have a mild mobility issue and found this pool challenging to get to but worth the effort.
  • Arrive early in the morning if you want easy parking. Sit on the corner southeast facing as it will have sun. The other side can get very cold. Not big enough to do good laps but decent enough for a cheeky swim.
  • Great little free family friendly swimming spot, a 15 minute walk/ferry from the city! LOCATION: Car access, some street parking, although it can be tough to get some close by on the weekends. Also right near Cremorne Point Wharf, with ferries leaving on a regular basis. Trip from the city only costs a few dollars. SURROUNDS: Gorgeously maintained gardens, large leafy coverage for those hot days. Perfect for picnics. Nice little playground for the kids and some picnic tables in the area and a headland you can walk to the end of, with a cute little lighthouse. ACCESSIBILITY: Toilets are wheelchair friendly, in terms of ground access but super small. The pool has stairs going down to it. Although you could wheel down to look at the pool (a few people have prams on the weekends up on grass at the top). The depth isn't too deep and there's a super shallow end and large stairs sightly immersed in the water, suitable for toddlers etc. Overall would recommend, for a salt water ocean pool dip work a great tanning/letting around deck and will be back.
  • The pool is situated on the coast looking back over Sydney harbour towards the bridge and opera house . It's a bit of a walk from the train station ,better to get a ferry to Cremore Point and enjoy a walk around the peninsula and get jealous of the nice houses. The pool itself on the day I visited could have been cleaner ,but there had been a storm the night before . There is a nice deck area in the sun and shade if you prefer. There is also a shower there . One thing to take into account if you go for a day out is there are no cafés,bars or shops nearby so take a picnic , there are beautiful areas nearby to have a picnic and enjoy the views .
  • Nice view over the city and opera house. It's flooded with salt water and not so deep, so also suitable for families with small kids. Good sunset as well. No toilets at that places, but not to far away.
