Mona Vale Rockpool

Mona Vale Rockpool is really two pools, at the northern end of the beach off Surfview Road. One is for toddlers. The other is 30 metres, for bigger kids and adults.

It makes a full day out. Apex Park across the road has electric BBQs, picnic tables, a shaded playground and a kids' bike path, and cafes line nearby Darley Street. Change rooms and toilets are on site.

Great for families with kids of mixed ages. Go in the morning, then claim a BBQ for lunch.
