What it's like
This is a natural swimming spot rather than a built pool: a channel of clear water over sand, sheltered between rock shelves, reported to be about 30 m long and only three or four metres wide. It is a good place for a quiet swim or snorkel on a calm day.
When to go
Calm days, mid to high tide.
Getting there and facilities
Currarong is a small village on the Beecroft Peninsula, about 30 minutes' drive east of Nowra. Facilities are in the village.
