Edithburgh Tidal Pool is a much-loved seaside attraction offering a safe, relaxed way to enjoy the ocean. Naturally filled and refreshed by the tides, the pool provides calm swimming conditions while remaining closely connected to the open waters of Gulf St Vincent.

The pool dates back to the 1880s, when separate bathing areas were created for men and women during Edithburgh's busy port days. Today, the remaining pool continues to serve the community, blending maritime history with everyday coastal enjoyment.

Shallow and family-friendly, the pool has a maximum depth of approximately 0.9 metres, making it ideal for children, gentle swims, and confidence-building in the sea. Steps provide easy access into the water.

One of the pool's standout features is the vibrant mural by local artist Darryl Lewis, celebrating the region's marine and bird life and adding a colourful sense of place.

Surrounded by lawns, picnic areas, BBQ facilities, toilets and nearby parking, Edithburgh Tidal Pool is also a popular VacSwim venue and a favourite spot to relax, swim and watch the sun set over the sea.

The Yorke Peninsula is the traditional lands of the Narungga (Nharangga) people, who have lived on, and cared for, this country since the beginning of time. We work, live and travel on Nharannga Banggara [Country], and we take time away from those pursuits to acknowledge and pay our deep respects to the Nharangga Elders of the past and present. 

Today, it is essential that we continue to care for and protect our spectacular natural environment. Tread lightly and leave no trace. Learn more about responsible and respectful travel on Yorke Peninsula.
