I absolutely do not do cold water swimming but if you want to swim in a tidal pool, then this is the place for you! Lovely views of the surrounding beaches.

What an asset to the town and a credit to the FoBSP, they have worked very hard to renew and renovate this Sea pool, it is free to use, but a small donation is welcomed for its up keep, we bought a tea towel and a T-Shirt from the little shop at the side of the pool, keep up the good work, cannot wait to visit again on our regular trips to Cornwall.

Love this sea pool, no matter how many times you go or when, there is always someone willing to chat, very friendly place if you're a lone swimmer. And I am blown away by the view every time. Thank you to all the volunteers who keep this little gem clean and pleasant for all to enjoy.

Sooooo cold! But what a fantastic old school sea pool. Kids loved it. Also obviously a great traditional place for a swim for local people.

Amazing place. Had great time. Must visit place if your tour Cornwall. If you want to do surfing it’s better before 5.00 p.m. water come inside after that and fill the pool. It’s amazing. Life guards will be there in that time. Finding parking is bid hard still okay. Don’t forget your surfer boards. It’s very expensive there. You can hire from there. Price is responsible but you have to return by 4.30 p.m
