(Image taken in December 2001).

Umina Beach on the NSW Central Coast has a ghost ocean pool. It seems this pool was in use into the 1980s, when it was deemed unsafe and had its walls knocked down.

All into Ocean Pools Inc would like to know more about this Australian pool. Please contact All into Ocean Pools Inc if you can offer more information about this pool.

MacMasters Beach 7

(Image created in July 2003. Author’s own collection.)

Sited at the southern end of MacMasters Beach, this shallow formed rock pool has rails, rather than the classic pool chains. Almost twinned with the Copacabana pool to the north, even though the two communities are distinct.

Location
Marine Parade, MacMasters Beach, NSW, 2251, Australia
(Latitude South 33 degrees 30 minutes 03 seconds, Longitude East 151 degrees 25 minutes 32 seconds)
