History of the Rockpool
The swimming enclosure known as Tuncurry Rockpool is actually a "wave trap" formed during construction of the breakwater to dissipate wave energy entering Cape Hawke Harbour. It quickly became a popular swimming spot and in the 1970's a net was installed to ensure the safety of swimmers. The enclosure is open to a channel and the net was designed to define the swimming zone and prevent bathers being swept out into the channel. Strong currents exist in the channel and extreme caution in the vicinity of the net is advised at all times.
Facilities at this site include Kiosk, Children's playground, toilets / changerooms, sealed carpark, BBQ facilities and picnic shelters.
