St.Peter's Pool

Rocky natural pool with clear water, but arrive early to beat crowds and expect a rough access road.

The local verdict

Worth visiting if you go early morning and have appropriate footwear and transport, but the access issues and overcrowding in peak hours make it less appealing than it looks in photos.

Wear sturdy beach shoes with good grip, the rocks are genuinely slippery and people regularly twist ankles here. Also, bring a high-clearance vehicle or you'll struggle with the deeply rutted access road.

Common mistakes

Most visitors underestimate how slippery the rocks are and arrive in flip-flops or regular trainers, leading to injuries. Arriving mid-day without a high-clearance vehicle also means dealing with severe access road damage and fighting crowds.
