About this place
What to expect
You’ll find these twin rock pools at the southern end of Austinmer Beach, overlooked by a historic pavilion. The southernmost pool is narrower and slightly longer than its northern neighbour, and both are popular year-round. If you’re not comfortable swimming in the ocean surf itself, this ocean water pool is a great testing ground as you swim laps up directly into the waves and back to shore with the waves flowing past you.
