"These salt water pools set right next to the sea offer visitors stunning views and an invigorating swim, usually without the worry of sharks or strong currents. Some are free, but guests will pay a small fee to visit others, usually less than A$10 (about $7 USD). After trying most of them, I've found my favorites for swimming laps, relaxation, and spending a day seaside with my family."
"A visit to Wylie's Baths in Coogee, a suburb of Sydney, feels like stepping back in time. After paying a small entrance fee, you'll walk onto the yellow and blue adorned deck overlooking the pool. After your swim, I recommend getting an outdoor massage on the deck, but make sure you book ahead, as this seems to be a popular activity. The feeling of a gentle sea breeze while getting a massage is hard to beat."
"South of Wylie's Baths, you'll find Mahon Pool in Maroubra, which is hidden below rocky cliffs. This ocean pool, with no admission fee, is one I keep going back to again and again because of its relaxing atmosphere. I suggest taking a book and hanging out on a rock or the grassy hill above the pool, as I like to do when I'm by myself."
Saltwater ocean pools sit adjacent to the sea and offer scenic views, invigorating swims, and protection from sharks and strong currents. Entrance to many pools is free, while others charge a small fee typically under A$10. Bondi Baths at Icebergs provides white-painted lap pools filled with saltwater and is ideal for swimming laps. Wylie's Baths features a yellow-and-blue deck overlooking the water and offers outdoor massages on the deck. Mahon Pool is hidden below rocky cliffs, admission-free, and good for relaxing on nearby rocks or grassy hills. Bermagui Blue Pool invites snorkeling, and Merewether Ocean Baths includes a shallow children's pool and a larger pool for families.
