Maccallum Seawater Pool

Salty, Cool, Refreshing, with incredible views. Its a narrow pool so it does get to feel a bit crowded. People sit along the edges. There’s a freshwater shower that looks directly over the harbour - breathtaking. Parking is very tricky - skinny roads and simply not much parking. Thankfully there are stairs near the playground that lead to the pathway along the water that leads to the pool.

I really liked the place, the walk to get there is easy, clean, you just have to be careful and respect for the animals that live there. The views are spectacular and you can relax swimming or sunbathing.

Came here two nights in a row to cool off in the end of Spring heat. Stunning views. Whole family loved it. From Inner West it was only 18min to get here, quicker than heading to any of the Eastern beaches. Parking was available both times (first night 8.15pm, second night 7pm). Free to enter and swim 24/7 in the saltwater pool with a freshwater shower to rinse off afterwards. Highly recommend and now one of our go-to swim spots.

Pretty hard to beat the location of MacCallum Pool. I would have given it five stars but it can get pretty dirty from time to time. Epic place for a family swim and seeing the world famous Sydney Harbour New Years Eve fireworks 🎇 Or just go for a picnic in the warmer months from Nov through to April and admire the million dollar view and cool off with a splash.

We visit Sydney every year but are not really beach or pool people, so we had never been here but saw the spectacular view online, so wanted to come this visit. The view was great - it wasn’t that busy so we were able to get a nice spot in the sun, as far as pools in rock pools go, it was a bit dirty so even if we got into most, I’m not sure that we would’ve gotten into this one, but keeping the 1920s aesthetic and the views alone make it worth visiting!
