Bellambi Rock Pool has lovely calm vibes and is popular with families. The 50m pool runs parallel to the ocean and has wide, sun warmed steps to sit on. A little toddler’s pool sits at the southern end, which is actually quite deep for a ‘wading’ pool, so keep an eye on non-swimmer littlies.

A wide ramp runs down from the footpath to the pool, no stairs here, though it can sometimes get slippery! At high tide the waves wash into the pool, so the water can get super choppy.

There is also a decent surf break just beside the pool, so good fun to watch the surfers too.

Near the pool is a cute little playground and some picnic shelters. My kids love to ride bikes on the path around to the boat ramp and watch the fisherfolk coming in and cleaning their catch. Big fish and rays hang out there waiting for scraps.

Open year round, free of cost.
