Queenscliff Rockpool
Highlights
- Swim laps in the 50-metre ocean pool, enjoying clear markings for a straight swim.
- Explore the secret tunnel, 'the Wormhole', leading to the scenic Freshwater Beach.
- Visit in the morning to bask in sunlight before the headland casts its afternoon shadow.
- Stroll from Manly Beach, soaking in coastal views along the short walk to the rockpool.
Queenscliff Rockpool is located on the northern end of Queenscliff Beach and is only a short walk from Manly Beach.
This 50-metre ocean pool is great for swimming laps, as there are markings along the walls to make sure you are swimming in a straight line. Just around the corner from the pool, you will find a secret tunnel called ‘the Wormhole’ that takes you through the headland to Freshwater Beach.
The best time to visit is in the mornings as the adjacent headland casts a shadow in the afternoon.
