North Narrabeen Rock Pool

One of the largest of the rock baths built in the early 1930s under the Unemployment Relief Scheme, sitting at the entrance to Narrabeen Lagoon. Timber decking, an original element that has been replaced many times, surrounds a 50 by 18 metre lap pool set inside a larger 70 by 40 metre pool, with a 60 by 50 metre reservoir acting as a wading pool. Parking is pay and display off Ocean Street, and there are change rooms on site.
