Herolds Bay Tidal Pools - nr George, Garden Route
There are two tidal pools in Herolds Bay. This one is the smaller and located at the end of Beach Road, approximately 150m from the main tidal pool. © Visit GeorgeHerolds Bay Tidal Pools - nr George, Garden Route
Tucked into the rocky shoreline of Herolds Bay, the tidal pools offer a safe and scenic haven where visitors can enjoy the ocean in a gentler embrace. Fed by the tides, the pools provides crystal-clear waters that are perfect for swimming, paddling, and cooling off on warm summer days. Surrounded by rugged rocks and the sound of waves crashing beyond, it feels like a natural sanctuary where families, couples, and solo travellers can soak up the beauty of the coast without the force of the open sea.
The tidal pools are a favourite for children learning to swim, as well as for those who simply want to float and relax while still feeling connected to the wild Atlantic. Early mornings often bring a calm, glassy surface ideal for a refreshing dip, while sunsets paint the waters in soft hues, creating a tranquil backdrop for quiet reflection. Whether you’re a beach lover seeking a safer swim or a traveller drawn to the hidden gems of the Garden Route, the Herolds Bay tidal pools are a delightful spot to pause, unwind, and experience the charm of this seaside village.
The smaller of the two tidal pools at the end of Beach Road has a dedicated braai area allocated for public use.
