Maccallum Pool

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 Council in 1985-86.
