Wylie's Baths

Wylie's Baths sits on Neptune Street at Coogee, on the dramatic coastline in Sydney's eastern beaches. A historic ocean-fed swimming pool dating back over a century, it's a genuine icon of the area — a beautiful tidal pool set into the rocks, with stunning ocean views, a relaxed sundeck and the timeless charm of one of Sydney's great ocean baths.

The appeal is that combination of a wonderful ocean swim and a spectacular setting: the tidal pool offers a refreshing dip with the waves and the open sea right there, while the sundeck, the views and the heritage atmosphere make it a lovely spot to swim, sunbake and soak up the coastal beauty. It's a beloved, characterful piece of Sydney's swimming history.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 500 reviews, it's a much-loved spot. The baths are a tidal ocean pool with an entry fee, and opening hours, conditions and the tides vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — and swimming safely and taking sun protection — while enjoying the historic ocean baths and spectacular coastal views at Wylie's at Coogee.
