The Strand Rockpool is a free, salt-water swimming pool at the northern end of Townsville’s beachfront promenade, with a gentle sloped area for children and wheelchair access near the deeper sections for swimmers. It’s a popular family spot with nearby picnic and barbecue areas, a playground, and lifeguard patrols in summer, making it ideal for cooling off with views of Cleveland Bay. The Rockpool is filled with ocean water and is designed as a safe alternative swimming area during jellyfish (stinger) season.
