The Grant McBride Baths
Last updated October 2026
The Grant McBride Baths (formerly The Entrance Ocean Baths) are free tidal ocean baths with a 50 metre outdoor pool, a 22 metre lap pool, a children's wading pool, and change, shower and toilet amenities. They are open year round, subject to cleaning: each pool closes once a week, typically Tuesday or Wednesday depending on tide and weather. Council lifeguards monitor the baths seven days a week in patrol season (Saturday 26 September 2026 to Sunday 25 April 2027) and, in the 2026 winter, patrolled daily from 8am to 1pm. NSW Beachwatch lists parking, showers and toilets here.
