Maccallum Pool, on the western side of Cremorne Point, is a unique harbourside pool with heritage character and superb views. Its waterside timber deck is an unparalleled sun bathing spot - especially on winter afternoons.
It was originally just a rock pool created by local residents to form a safe harbour swimming hole. The architectural style of the current pool dates back to the 1920s and was restored in keeping with this heritage theme by the local council in 1985-86.

Beautiful, clean and just enough space to relax. Not too many people during the week.

Visited MacCallum Seawater Pool and loved how calm and refreshing the space felt. The view over Sydney Harbour and the city skyline makes it one of the most scenic swimming spots on the North Shore. The pool is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for a relaxed morning swim. Great place in Cremorne Point for a quiet dip with unbeatable harbour views.

Came here two nights in a row to cool off in the end of Spring heat. Stunning views. Whole family loved it. From Inner West it was only 18min to get here, quicker than heading to any of the Eastern beaches. Parking was available both times (first night 8.15pm, second night 7pm). Free to enter and swim 24/7 in the saltwater pool with a freshwater shower to rinse off afterwards. Highly recommend and now one of our go-to swim spots.

Beautiful spot, not a lot of space to sit, lots of insta-wedgie moments, and youths bombing. Tuesday afternoon.

Salty, Cool, Refreshing, with incredible views. Its a narrow pool so it does get to feel a bit crowded. People sit along the edges. There’s a freshwater shower that looks directly over the harbour - breathtaking.
Parking is very tricky - skinny roads and simply not much parking. Thankfully there are stairs near the playground that lead to the pathway along the water that leads to the pool.
