Queenscliff rock pool
Rock pool · Queenscliff
A 50 metre ocean pool at the northern end of Manly Beach, popular for morning laps. A widened ramp leads down from the beach, with modified stairs and a ladder at the deep end.
The pool is cut into the natural rock shelf and is a quieter choice than the busier spots further south. Facilities are basic, with outdoor showers, and rough surf can wash sand over the wall. The council closes it for cleaning on a roster that changes with the weather.
