Ocean pools are an important feature of the Australian coastline particularly in New South Wales. Ocean pools or ocean baths are defined as public seawater pools sited on a rocky surf coast, so that waves can wash into the pool. Ocean pools date back to the convict era and there are about 100 ocean pools in New South Wales.
