Whitehouse Tidal Pool

Whitehouse Tidal Pool—also known as the Whitehouse Children’s Pool—is a historic tidal sea pool located along the Esplanade in Fowey, Cornwall. Originally built in the 1920s, this shallow, partially man-made pool fills with seawater at high tide and offers a calm, sheltered spot perfect for children, families, and casual swimmers. Recently restored through community fundraising, the pool now features improved stonework, safe access steps, and renewed fencing, preserving its charm and safety for future generations. With its peaceful estuary views, gentle waters, and close proximity to the quay, Whitehouse Pool remains a beloved local retreat and a nostalgic slice of Cornwall’s seaside heritage.
