Everything Else

At the southern end of St Clair Beach, under the shadow of Forbury Hill, lies the St Clair Hot Salt Water Pool, an open-air public swimming pool nestled within rocks just metres from the ocean. The Salt Water Pool was opened in 1884 and heating was added in the 60s. It’s a spectacular spot with waves crashing onto the boulders below and surfers catching the breaks in the background. It's particularly suited for people who love swimming in salt water, but don't want to endeavour the cooler sea waters.
