One of Kalk Bay’s plethora of pools, Wooley’s may not be as big as Dalebrook or St James, but it has its own merits. The addition of a smaller pool, tucked away in the corner of the larger tidal pool, provides a unique touch. Younger children can paddle around in the smaller section, while more experienced swimmers take a dip in the deep end. The flat rocks next to the pool are a nice spot to sit and watch the waves crash against the shore, but be careful traversing them, as they become slippery due to the persistent watery onslaught.
