Great place for a steal and see what’s around. Take the longer walk to the lookout enjoy stunning ocean views Bring your snorkeling gear as there are a lot of spots to go for a swim. The ocean isn’t rough. Lots of little wildlife around including lizards sun baking. Plenty of spots for a meal, picnic or a drink

Stunning view of Manly, Shelley Beach and up the northern beaches coastline. Watch snorkellers and scuba divers search for sea life in the ocean while you relax in the safety of the ocean pool. Crystal clear and fresh ocean water. Change rooms and spots to sit adjacent. One of Sydney’s best ocean pools.

Fairy bower ocean pool is a small ocean water pool with fantastic views of the ocean and Manly Beach and Shelly Beach Manly ⛱️ great to relax and chill out to cool down on hot days 😀 there is much human traffic walking to Shelly Beach and back to Manly Beach ⛱️ great location.Fairy Bower Ocean Pool is widely considered one of the most picturesque swimming spots in Sydney. Located along the scenic Marine Parade walk between Manly Beach and Shelly Beach, this historic pool offers a unique, tranquil alternative to the crashing surf of the main beach. The Experience: A Sculptural Masterpiece What sets Fairy Bower apart is its distinct triangular shape and the iconic "Oceanides" sculptures (locally known as the "Sea Nymphs") that sit on its jagged rock edge. These tall, bronze figures by artist Helen Leete appear to dance in the waves, especially during high tide, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that is a magnet for photographers. Quick Facts Dimensions: Approximately 20 meters (triangular). History: Built by local residents in 1929. Location: Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve (Manly). Entry: Free and open 24/7. Pros Cons Crystal Clear Water: Located in a protected marine reserve

The sea pool is accessible from the coast walk between South Steyne and Shelley Beach. The pool is well maintained by council and has room to sunbathe. It is close to The Bower Cafe and clean amenities. Picture perfect with beautiful views of Cabbage Tree Bay and the sea swimmers sculpture.

Use the triangular 1929 Fairy Bower sea pool as inspiration for being at the pointy end of Sydney summer. This sea pool was built by local residents (and what a good idea that was). It has magnificent views (including from the open air showers), and a painted (non-slimy) bottom that made me happy. Great for people-watching with a constant parade on the boardwalk. Would return in a heartbeat!
