Dee Why Rockpool

The rockpool gives Dee Why one of the classic Australian coastal gestures: a place where wild water and calm swimming meet each other without cancelling the drama of either.

Set into the southern rocks, it is both practical and theatrical. You can swim laps while the sea throws spray nearby, or simply stand back and enjoy the contrast between still water inside the pool and restless water beyond it. It is one of the walk's most photogenic stops for good reason.
