The world famous Northern Beaches rockpools are great places to cool down or do a few laps.

Council sometimes closes rockpools due to rough seas, for renovations or cleaning. Pools will reopen once sufficient water has entered the pool, this normally occurs after the next high tide.

Northern Beaches Council and Beachwatch NSW recommend you avoid swimming for three days after heavy rain.

Pool Cleaning Roster

The pool cleaning roster can change at any time due to unusual weather circumstances or pool conditions. View the scheduled cleaning roster (2017).

The Fairy Bower rockpool in Manly is currently cleaned fortnightly which is scheduled with the tides. Fairy Bower pool will be included in the schedule soon.
