Seaside Swim – MCIVER LADIES BATHS

BY RIDA BABAR

Nestled in Grant Reserve, Coogee, McIver Ladies Baths is a heritage-listed natural swimming pool for women. A relatively secluded spot, the baths boast jaw-dropping ocean views and remains the last women-only seawater pool in Australia. Entry costs $2, and the pool is open from sunrise to an hour before sunset.

Locals swear by the place, saying that it is a fantastic spot to swim and relax, with grass areas and rocks to lounge on. If you’re looking to get away from all of the commotion at Coogee Beach, the quiet McIver Ladies Baths is for you.

For those seeking natural swimming pools not exclusive to women, Wylie’s Baths is a nearby option that comes highly recommended.
