Nad's for Men's Aussie Ocean Pools Bucket List

Since 1819 (when Newcastle’s Bogey Pool opened) Ocean Pools have played an important part of our beach culture and almost instantly became synonymous with Summer. These seawater pools maybe Man Made but more often than not, look like nature offered a big helping hand. They are a focal point for summer fun, socialising, relaxation and of course the perfect place to show off your own amazing manscaping.

Here are Nad’s For Men’s picks of Ocean Pools that should be on your bucket list to visit. Be sure to share your summer vibes with us:

Located at the Southern end of Coalcliff Beach is the Coalcliff Rockpool. Quiet and secluded, the 27m pool boasts plenty of sea life and is ideal for simply getting away from it all.

We highly recommend you take time out this summer to go and enjoy these stunning pools - just remember to ‘SCAPE’ before plunging in.

At the base of Jack Vanny reserve and at the northern end of Maroubra Beach is the Mahon Rock Pool. Accessible by stairs from Marine Parade, this breathtaking venue offers a backdrop of exposed rock below a steep cliff.

Possibly one of Sydney’s best known locations (and therefore maybe the most popular). This Saltwater pool is at its most spectacular in high tide when waves crash over the 30m pool’s edge.

From beautiful and idyllic scenery, to heritage and historic constructions, naturally formed or man-made, we highly recommend you take time out this summer to go and enjoy these stunning pools - just remember to ‘SCAPE’ before plunging in.
