Wylie's Baths

Wylie's Baths is a historic rock pool at the southern end of Coogee Beach in Sydney. Built in 1907 by Henry Alexander Wylie, the pool was among the first public baths in Australia open to women and served as a training ground for Olympic champions. Today it is a heritage-listed landmark that has kept its historic character thanks to a careful restoration. You can swim in the salty seawater, enjoy the natural rock formation, and stroll along the adjoining wooden boardwalk. A kiosk sells refreshments, and the facility is run by a local trust that ensures this piece of cultural heritage is preserved.
