McIver's Ladies Baths

Last updated October 2026

McIver's Ladies Baths is a concrete sea pool on a cliff face and rock platform between Coogee Beach and Wylie's Baths, open only to women and children. Randwick Council says it is the last remaining women's-only seawater pool in Australia; the baths describe themselves as an inclusive space for all women and children. Steps lead down the cliff from Grant Reserve. There are change rooms, an amenities block, a brick sunbathing area and a small clubhouse. Entry is a small fee (single entry $2.50, rising to $3.00 from 1 January 2027). Summer hours are 7am to 7pm. Dogs are prohibited. Within a short walk are Barzura (restaurant, about 170 m), Bathers Coogee (about 190 m), The Little Kitchen (about 220 m) and Thai Banyantree Coogee (restaurant, about 230 m).
