What a wonderful place to enjoy the delights of open water swimming. It did seem very cold initially but it was well worth the effort of acclimitisating as the views and proximity to several seals made it all worthwhile. Looking forward to returning in the not too distant future.

There's now a changing area outside the toilet block and a basic shower too.

Bracing mid March but fabulous!

This pool is my favourite. Deep enough for a good swim but you need shoes as the entry is rocky. The views are amazing (seals, curlew and other wildlife). Great changing spaces and quire secluded really.

This is like an infinity pool as it is end on to the sea with fantastic views across the Firth of Forth. Can be wild at the end when the sea is rough. There is an honesty box as the pool is well-maintained with benches to get changed on and hooks in the sea wall to hang up your dryribes/towels

A great pool. Steps down the cliff to large areas with benches and flat dry ledges for changing. Swam today as the tide was coming in over the wall - absolutely stunning swimming up the pool with the views too!

Walk down from the car park to this sheltered tidal pool. Nice spot for a family swim.
