What it's like
The pool sits on the rocks at the southern end of Terrigal Beach, below the Skillion headland. Council has rebuilt its foundations and walls and replaced the old stairs with a ramp, making it much easier to get into. The new boardwalk past the pool has a viewing platform, seating and lighting.
When to go
Calm days, mid to high tide. Terrigal is busy on summer weekends, so early mornings are quietest.
Getting there and facilities
Walk south along the Terrigal Beach promenade onto the boardwalk towards The Haven. Toilets, cafes and restaurants are along the Terrigal beachfront.
Good to know
There are no lifeguards at the pool; Terrigal Beach is patrolled in season.
