Nestled on the coastline just beyond Brixham Harbour, Shoalstone Sea Water Pool has been welcoming swimmers for over a century. This beautiful outdoor seawater pool offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the benefits of sea swimming in a sheltered and accessible environment.
Filled by the sea and refreshed by the tides, Shoalstone combines the invigorating experience of swimming outdoors with the comfort of a protected swimming space. It’s a popular destination for local swimmers, families, visitors and open water enthusiasts who return throughout the year to enjoy the pool and the stunning coastal setting.
The pool sits within the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark and enjoys sweeping views across Torbay. Whether you’re swimming lengths, introducing children to sea swimming, floating beneath blue skies or simply enjoying time beside the water, Shoalstone offers a welcoming space to connect with the sea.
Community-supported and deeply loved by local people, Shoalstone has become much more than a swimming pool. It’s a place where memories are made, friendships are formed and people come together to enjoy Devon’s coastline.
