Avalon Rockpool
Last updated October 2026
Avalon Rockpool is a 25 m ocean pool with a toddler pool at the southern end of Avalon Beach. No lifeguard service is listed for the pool itself; council lifeguards patrol the adjoining surf beach daily 9am-5pm from the last weekend of September to the last weekend of April. The pool closes regularly for cleaning and refilling, so check the council cleaning roster before you go. Change rooms and toilets are available, with a playground and skate bowl nearby and pay-and-display parking off Barrenjoey Road. Within a short walk (OpenStreetMap) are Lovat (cafe, about 150 m), Nourished Wholefood Cafe (cafe, about 230 m), Reddy Express (convenience store, about 220 m) and Woolworths Metro (supermarket, about 250 m), plus several restaurants.
