The Onrus tidal pool

Free, and no booking

The Onrus tidal pool

Safe swimming whatever the sea is doing. The answer when the surf is up.

30 minutes from the estate

A tidal pool cut into the rocks at the end of Onrus beach, filled by the sea and calm whatever is happening beyond it. It is the answer when the children want to swim and the ocean is not having it.

What to do there

  • Swim in the pool when the beach is too rough
  • The beach and lagoon are right there
  • Walk the coastal path towards Vermont afterwards

Worth knowing

  • Free, unsupervised, and busiest over December and January
  • Cold. It is still the Atlantic
