Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House are major tourist draws for visitors, but the city holds another claim to fame: more ocean pools than any other city according to swimming expert Marie-Louise McDermott. These tidal rock pools along its coastline are loved by swimmers, sunbathers and cliff-huggers alike!
Our favorite thing about Jingga and Minerva beaches lies in their picturesque settings among rocky outcrops on cliffs, with their pretty colors and surrounding bushland. Their open all year long status makes them great alternatives to city beaches when crowds become overwhelming or water temperatures become too chilly to enable swimming. Jingga and Minerva can easily be reached in morning or afternoon drives out of the city, providing easy daytrip options.
If you’re craving some pool time but don’t want to leave Sydney, Swimply provides plenty of private pool options. Working like Airbnb for pools, this app connects pool owners who are offering up their pools as rentals with Sydneysiders seeking somewhere to soak up some summer sunshine – you can even filter by features like dog-friendliness, party atmosphere or waterslides for added ease!
