Edithburgh Tidal Pool

The Edithburgh Tidal Pool is a large seawater swimming pool on the foreshore at Edithburgh on the south-eastern Yorke Peninsula, South Australia. Built into the intertidal reef and replenished by the tide, it provides a sheltered, family-friendly alternative to open sea swimming in Gulf St Vincent. Notable for its clear water, concrete walls, proximity to the historic Edithburgh Jetty, and scenic coastal setting, it is a popular summer attraction for swimming, wading and snorkelling.

Visitors can expect a large, rectangular concrete seawater pool set into the rocky foreshore at the edge of Gulf St Vincent, adjacent to the Edithburgh Jetty and foreshore reserve. The pool is naturally filled and refreshed by the tide and offers calm, sheltered water for swimming and wading when the sea is rough. The surrounding area includes grassed foreshore, seating, a coastal walking trail, and views across the gulf. The site is open-air with no roof or enclosure and is best enjoyed at high tide when water depth is greatest.
