Saltcoats Bathing Pool was built in 1932.

In the late 1880s, a bathing station was built on the site of the former saltpans. This was in a rocky
cove, which is at one end of what is now Winton Circus. This bathing station had changing facilities
and some seated accommodation for spectators although seating was often just the surrounding
rocks in the bay. This proved to be a very popular venue. This station was replaced in the 1930s.
On 10th June 1933, a new bathing and yacht pond was opened on the same site. Its claim to fame
was that it was the largest tidal pool of the time in Scotland. Not only was it the finest open air pool but
it boasted modern changing rooms, showers, a tea room, seating, a roof balcony and flood lights for
mid night bathing.
There are moves about to have the tidal pool reopened
