The Rockpool

This place was one of the fantastic place that could enjoy my holidays. The nature was fabulous which cannot put in any device. I love and miss the location. I must might visit ‘the Norah Head’.

Beautiful area to swim with the safety of the rock formation, protecting the swim area from waves, and large marine animals . Sandy bottom and great area for young ( supervised) children to swim. Easy access from upper parking area down railed steps or also the boat ramp parking area with no steps at all. Wheelchair accessible foot paths to beach level and restrooms next to the beach. Lifeguard station located at the boat ramp! All in all a great beach for family fun!

This is a really beautiful and peaceful beach! The waves aren’t too strong so this place is ideal for swimming and relaxing. The Rockpool is quite shallow and is perfect for families. The parking can get quite busy on weekends so just be wary of that.

Norah head beach and rock pool. My girls said: best rock pool ever!. You have to time it right as with low tide the pool is empty. High tide it can be a bit rough with waves but in between tides it's perfect. We've spend most of our day on the right side of the beach next to the rock pool. With low tide the rocks expose themselves and the kids love exploring all the little under sea aquariums that stay behind between the rocks. You can find sea urchins, little star fishes, anemones and little fish swimming around. Lots of shells too when it's low tide.

Great place for young families. Check the tides and seas forecast before coming though. High tides/seas can lead to there being no beach. Conversely, low tides can lead to no water! However, time it right and it’s perfect.

One of my favourite places to meditate, relax or have a swim. Especially at the end of a hot day or early morning watching a sunrise

I absolutely love the rockpool. it is a great safe environment for you to easily watch your children while they play in the water. You don't have to worry about waves or extra currents you can just relax and watch them play. It is a great family place, and there is a fantastic cafe just at the top of the stairs.

The Rock Pool has been a favourite destination for me for the last 50 years. Iit has a male and female toilets with showers, the only down side is the stairs getting to and from it.The attached shot shows a rare empty Rock Pool due to an ultra low tide.

Its always a pleasure visiting the rock pool. A safe place for younger children and those young at heart with a sheltered section to swimm from the big currents. It is great to see the area being well kept and maintained and improved over the years 😊

This used to be my top favorite spot for swimming with the kids (until we've discovered Naru beach).

Still with only 10min away from home it is unbeatable spot to be on a hot day.

Whilst offering toilet & showers, plus cafe at the top of the stairs.

The parking can be a major pain point. So come early - like 7-8am early.

The rock pool boasts beatiful clean water, sandy bottom and minimum waves during tides change over.

It is not deep, so perfect to try out snorkelling for kids.

Beach itself is tiny, so again coming early is advisable.

Overall it is a great spot.

If you grew up in the area, this was the supreme spot to go when you were a kid and it still has plenty to offer, a safe rock pool with plenty of rocks and crevices so you can find fish and close to bathrooms and a cafe upstairs

Great rock pool for families and children. Lovely sandy beach section near the pool and public amenities and toilets. This rockpool and beach at Norah Head is not patrolled by surf lifesaving. Very crowded during holiday season.

Beautiful beach plenty parking area, shower toilet, and kids pool.

Love it here, great beach walking spot and the rock pool is so good for kids and the oldies.

Beautiful part of the world. So much to explore and take in

Beautiful views and quiet spot. Great walk around the area as well.

Really good super kid friendly and toilets and cold showers for washing.

Such a beautiful and peaceful place to sit and watch the world go by.

Gorgeous part of the central coast beautiful little bay here at cabbage tree rockpool also beautiful ocean to swim in nice and handy to the cafe up the hill or steps.

Perfect spot for kids. If parking is tight then park at the playground and walk down the stairs.
