What it's like
The pools sit on the rock platform at the north end of the beach. The main pool is good for a swim and the smaller toddlers pool next to it suits young children. Waves wash into both at high tide.
When to go
Calm mornings are best. Council publishes estimated cleaning dates that can change with the sea and weather; in late October 2026 its page was showing a date that had already passed, so check on the day.
Getting there and facilities
The pool is reached from Farrell Road, Bulli. Bulli Tourist Park is a short walk away, and there are popular cafes beside the beach.
Good to know
There are no lifeguards at the pool itself. The rocks are slippery.
