The Pool of Siloam is located 3k from Beachport town centre. Just follow the Bowman Scene Drive It is seven times saltier than the sea and it is alleged to possess therapeutic assets. The pools depth although close to the sea does not fluctuate with the tides as its depth relies on soaks in the area.
The high salt content in the lake makes swimming very easy, as the water is extremely buoyant.
The pool has a range of facilities for visitors including change rooms, cold water showers, toilets and a picnic area. The pool is free to attend. A must for those wanting to relax.
