All About

Bermagui Blue Pool

Tucked away at the base of a dramatic rocky cliff on the stunning Sapphire Coast of NSW, the Bermagui Blue Pool is regularly ranked as one of the most beautiful ocean rock pools in Australia. Carved into the coastline off Pacific Drive, this natural, ocean-fed swimming hole is famous for its crystal-clear, opaline waters that shift from deep sapphire to vibrant turquoise under the coastal sun.

Whether you are looking for a refreshing morning lap, a family-friendly afternoon out, or a premier snorkelling spot on the South Coast, the Blue Pool ticks every box. Dip your head underwater to discover a thriving marine ecosystem teeming with colorful sea stars, anemones, crabs, and fish.

Why It Deserves a Spot on Your Aussie Bucket List:

The Ultimate Natural Pool: A 50-meter-long seawater pool perfect for confident swimmers, complete with an adjacent shallow wading pool for toddlers and kids.
Premium Facilities: Easily accessible via stairs from the main car park, featuring handy public amenities including toilets, hot showers, change rooms, and picnic areas.
Whale Watching Lookout: If you aren’t quite ready to brave the saltwater, head to the elevated viewing platform. It offers panoramic coastal views and is a prime vantage point for spotting humpback whales along the 'Humpback Highway' between August and November.
Free Entry: Open 24/7 and completely free to access, making it one of the absolute best free things to do in Bermagui.

Located just 5.5 hours south of Sydney and 3.5 hours from Canberra, this iconic Sapphire Coast gem is a must-add to your next NSW road trip itinerary.
