    Area permanently closed - Mermaid Pools

    Access to Mermaid Pools is permanently closed including for swimming. Sudden large swells and tides create major waves that wash over the rocks and pools. Do not access this area. The severe conditions at this site have caused a number of significant injuries and deaths in the past. Mermaid Pools have never been a designated visitor site due to the extreme nature of the surf and tides at this location. There is no approved public access walking track to Mermaid Pools.
