This is a tidal pool and the depth and clarity will change with the tides and seasons, i have found summer is the best time of year to visit this particular spot as it offers lower to medium tides.
A great beach day out, without the crowds,
Timing is everything when it comes to a tourist destination like our beautiful Port Stephens but its strange that with how easy this pool is to get to it never seems to be as packed out as some of the other spots.
