We head down the estury on our paddle boards at least once a week. Guaranteed water and flat just need to watch out for the wind, less than 10 knots is perfect. Also good for training sessions on dunes, walking the dog and hanging out in the pools.
This is a good place for a family picnic and a swim. But the back packers have taken over this place. you cant get in to have a BBQ as they take the place up. They camp their at night and use the free shower and toliet. They have signs up but nothing is do about it. If you want to BBQ their recommend you get their early and steak your claim.
Went at about 6:15pm, its warm waters, ok view. very shell full beach, light brown sand, low tide is ugly but high tide ok. Worse than Perth Beaches.
An interesting body of water that is tidal dependant....great place to cool off even in winter. Great to see all walks of life using the pools as the sea doesn't offer complete safety for swimming
Pretty Pool is at the eastern end of Port Hedland, just past Cook Point.Look for the turn-off sign on the right hand side while heading towards Port Hedland.A nice little grassed area to relax and have a picnic.There are rubbish bins, toilets and showers provided also.A short walk will take you to the beautiful ocean beach.
A quiet out of the way little place where kids can swim n play in the water. Lots of parking and some shade areas.
This is a good place to go and relax or try to catch a fish. The walking around the area is good and ther is ample parking for those requiring it, there are also places for the kids to play. We enjoyed relaxing and enjoying the scenery.
My wife and I stopped for lunch there the other day. Great BBQ's, nice covered seating, shaded lawns and rubbish bins. Toilets and showers are located at the back of the car park.Had a very pleasant hour or so watching the birds and the tidal movement.This is the only safe ocean swimming in Hedland although both Port and South have really great public pools. At he right tidal time 4WD's can go right down onto the beach - but don't get caught by the rising tide!
I think the name sets you up for a let down! It is a good place to go for a swim, the beach is great for the kids and taking the dogs for a walk. It can be pretty there when the weather is nice. The park/bbq area as mentioned in another review, has been taken over by backpackers using everything for free and leaving the toilets and showers a mess. I have no problem with back packers, but it's supposed to be for everyone to enjoy and share. Its a shame nothing is being done about that as it spoils the few places that Port Hedland has to offer.
Just as it's called, definitely pretty pool, nice place to visit while in Port Hedland for the day, say off cruise ship, little drive though.
