Mahon Pool

Built in 1932, the concrete tidal pool is set into the natural rock platform and filled by ocean waves. It is known for its scenic coastal setting, clear turquoise water, and views of the Pacific Ocean, and is a popular spot for swimming, photography and coastal walks along Sydney's eastern suburbs.

Visitors can expect a concrete tidal ocean pool built into a natural sandstone rock platform at the northern end of Maroubra Beach. The pool is filled by waves and offers clear seawater for swimming with open views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding cliffs. Access is via stairs from Jack Vanny Reserve and Marine Parade. The setting is exposed and natural, with rocky surrounds, seating areas, and a coastal walk connection. There is no enclosed building, and the area is unpatrolled.
