Whether you are an experienced swimmer or just want to enjoy the tranquility by the water, this place is perfect for relaxing and discovering the beauty of the coast.

Please note that on sunny days, especially during the peak season, it is recommended to arrive early to secure one of the popular parking spots.

Those interested will be pleased to hear that the rock pool has eight lanes, which are excellent for lap swimming. This not only attracts athletes but also creates a social atmosphere, ideal for meeting like-minded individuals.

The location of the South Curl Curl Rockpool is not only picturesque but also offers a variety of activities in the area. Access to the sandy beach is just a short walk away. After a refreshing swim, you can relax on the beach or explore the surroundings. The waves offshore provide a stunning backdrop that creates a great atmosphere, especially at sunset.

For those who love being active, there are beautiful walking trails along the coast. The path between Freshwater and South Curl Curl is perfect for a short walk or a bike ride, allowing you to enjoy the fresh sea breeze.

Reviews

Visitors to the South Curl Curl Rockpool rave about the regular maintenance and cleanliness of the water. Many report a peaceful atmosphere that is ideal for morning or afternoon visits. The flat area suitable for children, allowing them to splash around while other mini-swimmers do their laps in the deeper water, is especially appreciated. The availability of restrooms and showers is highlighted as another advantage, making the visit more comfortable. However, the lack of shade is seen as a minor drawback, so sun protection and possibly an umbrella should definitely be brought along.
