Wylie's Baths

Great place to swim and chill at the southern end of Coogee. Cafe good too but can be a bit challenging to find a park.

Absolutely stunning for a swim or a coffee or bite to eat or both. Paradise ! Water so clear and clean. One of the best views in Sydney. Spotted a pod of dolphins from the baths only yesterday ❤️

(4.5 stars)Wylie’s Baths is so good, they wrote a book about it that you can buy from the kiosk. Despite the Edwardian features of a very British approach to bathing, including the wooden structures housing a popular café, excellent change rooms and more, the pool itself is one of the more natural environments you can find in NSW. In other words, it’s a ‘living pool’ with marine life, a natural rock bottom, octopus, fish, sea urchins, and more.Tread carefully in this relatively shallow pool as you take in the spectacular views: Coogee Beach in one direction and Wedding Cake Island out to sea. Even looking back towards the entrance is pleasurable, as the whole place feels like you are in some retro time warp of an endless summer captured in old paintings or photographs.We hadn’t been here in decades and felt a bit silly about that after finally returning. This is an archetypal Australian pool experience and is highly recommended.

I am a very early morning swimmer, still dark when I swim. Dawn breaking as I get out. Best way to start each day.

Performed here with my acapella choir on Friday night. Very pretty at sunset

As a senior from Scotland who visits Coogee regularly, I felt upset that my UK ID is not acceptable to prove my age in order to get a concession entry! It was until beginning of this year - why the change?! I don’t even swim in the pool, I just buy a cup of tea & enjoy the company & views, but no way am I paying $6.00 to get in & then pay again for a cuppa!! Someone needs to rethink this!

An amazing place! Great view from the deck over Coogee beech and Wedding Cake island. It has a nice cafe with good coffee and food/cakes/ice-cream, and friendly staff. Can easily chill here most of the day. Nice changing rooms with showers (20c for a 2 min hot shower). Make sure you check the tide times and the live pool webcam on the website before you go as it can get quite choppy. When the tide is low and the sun is out, the pool and swimming conditions are amazing. Also cool to snorkel there as there is plenty of sea life in the pool. A hidden away gem in Sydney.

Excellent place, excellent views. Good for a calm swim and to apreaciate the views

Beautiful place. Nice views.Big wide and spacious.Staff are nice.I give it 4 stars coz the whole pool is pretty much rock pool with just concrete structure.There could be sharp sea urchins in water so watch out.So the rock pool is perfect for swimmers who need that privacy.You can touch the ground but it's best to avoid walking in the pool coz of the rocks and coral etc.I also give it 4 stars coz of the $5 entrance. I think it should be like $3 or $4 bucks.But yeah id's go back if I want to avoid crowds.Not a place for little kids.Coz they need to have floaty or need to swim without touching ground.

Love this place . Will go again and again . Nice coffee and burgers there also.Water was a bit choppy today , great fun swim in these conditions .
