Woolley's Tidal Pool - Clovelly, Cape Town
Woolley's Tidal Pool - Clovelly, Cape Town
Tucked away between the quaint coastal suburbs of Clovelly and Fish Hoek in Cape Town, Woolley’s Tidal Pool is a hidden gem that promises a serene seaside escape. Fringed by rugged rocks and the rolling hills of the False Bay coastline, this charming tidal pool offers calm, sheltered waters ideal for leisurely swims and family-friendly dips. Unlike the more crowded beaches nearby, Woolley’s maintains a tranquil, off-the-beaten-path atmosphere that makes it a favourite among locals in the know. Whether you’re floating beneath the soft morning light or soaking up the sun on the surrounding rocks, the pool delivers an idyllic retreat with postcard-worthy views.
What sets Woolley’s apart is not only its natural beauty but also its accessibility and unpretentious charm. Located just off the scenic Clovelly Road, it’s a short walk from the train station and perfect for a stop on a coastal adventure. At low tide, the pool reveals a mosaic of tidal life—colourful sea anemones, darting fish, and curious crabs—making it a delightful spot for nature lovers and young explorers. With the gentle soundtrack of waves and the occasional call of a Cape cormorant overhead, Woolley’s Tidal Pool captures the quiet magic of Cape Town’s more secluded shores.
