Large (35-metre by 45-metre) baths just south of McIvers Baths. Located on the rock platform below the Grant Reserve.Entry charges apply. Near the entry stands a statue of swimmer Mina Wylie, who won a silver medal in swimming at the 1912 Olympic Games. The huge timber deck at Wylies offers great views to the north and provides shade below.  As noted in Eileen Slarke’s book A Century of Wylie’s Baths, these baths and their distinct buildings and deck and diverse set of patrons have attracted many photographers and artists.

Location

Neptune Street, Coogee, NSW, 2034, Australia
(Latitude South 33 degrees 55 minutes 33 seconds, Longitude East 151 degrees 15 minutes 34 seconds)
