Strand Rockpool

Safe swimming area. The bottom of the pool and steps entering were slimy. Life guard said every Wednesday the pool gets a thorough clean and this day wasnts the best. Water was cloudy but I did a few laps and enjoyed being relaxed. Lovely view of Magnetic Island Kid friendly Parking available Toilets available Free entry No real closing time - suppose after the lifeguards leave a 5pm

The Strand Rockpool is such an interesting location along Townsville’s stunning foreshore. This man-made, stinger-resistant seawater lagoon offers a safe and refreshing swimming experience, making it an ideal spot for families. Both my children have been a little scared of the idea of stingers since we've been in Queensland but they both found the water easy to access and had heaps of fun during the stop. What sets this spot apart is its thoughtful design and accessibility. I cant believe the Rockpool is free, it also is equipped with facilities like toilets, outdoor showers, and nearby barbecue and picnic areas. Plus, its proximity to local eateries means you can easily grab a refreshing drink or meal after your swim. I would love to go back when the weathers warmer and the bar overlooking the water is open.
