Kerry-Anne Simpson
This is an awesome place to come for a swim and go to the beach there is facilities for shower and toilets very close and great for disable people and kids. Right next to the beach to do both.
Paul Ward
Fabulous free super neat and clean salt water pool. There are covered gathering places for a group of people and plenty of seating. Wonderful views of the beach, Ocean, and local rock platform.

Beautiful spot to put a pool! It's so relaxing, just hard to find a spot to sit when it's busy because there's not that many to choose from. So I recommend to have a swim then go find a spot on the beach! No lifesaves unless it's peak time in summer. Defs worth a visit!
Kylie F
For a free public pool this one is great for young kids! I actually didn't know that it was salt water so that was a nice surprise. Our 2 year old daughter is not a confident swimmer so having the ramp and the ledge seat surrounding it was great for her to jump off into our arms. It's not too deep either which is great for teaching how to swim. It was busy on a Sunday but as the water was supe...

Well I went to Kings Beach today oh my gawd I absolutely fell in love with this place. Free parking lots of lovely shops and cafes. Stunning scenery everywhere, especially as you looked across and saw the views of the Glass House Mountains in the distance and great to go when the sunsets. There is also a great salt water swimming pool. A must to visit 🙏
