Wombarra Rock Pool

Been here once and it was nice. Not much parking and Rock pool was a bit smelly. I would go back and see again though.

Very relaxing, a must for all to experience, right on the ocean,
Beautiful scenic views.

Incredible location.but beware parking is not ideal and the pool is covered in really sharp oyster shells.two kids and two adults got cut feet. But it still couldn't ruin such a beautiful place!

A place to enjoy chilling out in nature's beauty. A really great place for little kids and family groups.

Lovely quiet spot away from most tourist traps. Not much parking but adequate. Had a beautiful, self made, breakfast here many times. Is top 5 on my places to chill early in the day.

The renovations to the pool and surrounds have added to the lovely spot. The limited parking and the fact that it's mostly hidden from public view ensure that it does not get too crowded which is prefect. It has benches, a park and bathroom facilities. Well worth a visit

(4.5 stars)
Approach this one via the stunning Seacliff Bridge, beloved by car ad makers, until you turn off Lawrence Hargreave Drive towards the ocean and head towards a stand of old Norfolk Pines that line the shore here.

There’s not a lot of parking here (we were lucky) but Wombarra Rock Pool has all the other things you need: good change rooms, outdoor showers, picnic tables, a toddler’s pool next to the main one, all framed by the Illawarra escarpment backdrop.

We were here between tides, which was also lucky, as this pool might be tricky to access safely on high. But it’s a beauty! Big, deep, weirdly shaped, with waves crashing over one corner for an oceanic spa effect.

It’s been gradually upgraded over the decades since its construction in the 1930s, most recently around four years ago, and we thought it was now a great ocean pool that made for a really satisfying swim (it’s deep). Would return for sure.

Fabulous, clean refreshing experience with great swimming area and just lovely environment and scenery so well kept?

This is a fantastic little hidden gem along the south coast. Just past the Scarborough Hotel, the Wombarra Sea Pool is tucked away from some of the busier beaches.
There a two pools - one is for kiddies which is about 40cms deep. The waves in the area can get quite strong so the pool water can get choppy.
There are public toilets, small grass area, picnic benches and very limited parking onsite.
We visited on a very windy day so had the pool to ourselves, but there were a few surfers braving the waves.
I don’t think the beach is patrolled by surf lifeguards - check council website.

Nice place, beach is pretty Rocky but the rock pool is nice for a swim. Parking area was recently done up but now there are fewer spaces which is not so good. There are new picnic table and the toilet and showers are ok.

Nice rock pool for adults and kids. Have seperate shower (outside), toilet and change room however parking is limited. There is a kids playground nearby which has awesome views over the South Pacific.

It's a little hidden treasure that many miss out on to see, explore, swim, relax and enjoy.
There is a sign on the main road but at 50km/hr it's hardly noticeable.
Exceptional views partly of the Illawarra Escarpment.
Maybe it was the timing. Very few people around.
It was great.
Practically having a large rock pool to yourself.
Not to choppy. Pool was great. Nice and refreshing.
Has toilet blocks but couldn't locate any showers.
Seen a few campers around.
Has magical views though today due to the current weather of smoke it did spoil the spectacular views.
Always see Ships from abroad but they were hard to see due to the weather. Slightly visible.
Great place to relax with a few fixed tables.
There is also a small kids park.
Will return whilst passing thru my ventures along the east coast line.

Lovely place for families or couples. Peaceful and away from traffic. Best during start of high tide

I go there for photography however the rock pool has recently been renovated. Nice beach, good pool, well maintained and clean.

Probably my favourite ocean pool, tucked off the main drag so it isn't saturated with tourists like Austinmer. The new renovations have made it much easier to enter and exit the main pool. The baby pool is fantastic and my toddler loves splashing around in it while Mummy gets a couple of laps in. The beach can be a bit covered in seaweed but a short work at low tide and you can get round to Scarborough beach which is patrolled. If the kids have any energy left or get bored their is also a small but new playground above the pools on the grass. Their are also some great rock pools to explore.
