St. Clair Hot Salt Water Pool

About

When in South Island, St. Clair Hot Salt Water Pool is the local business. It sits on Esplanade, St Clair, Dunedin 9012, Nueva Zelanda, close to the Dunedin coast.

The pool is known as a heated salt water swimming spot in the St Clair suburb, run as a sports centre with a council page at https://www.dunedin.govt.nz/community-facilities/swimming-pools/st-clair-pool. First-time visitors can expect a salt water swim rather than a standard chlorinated pool, with five photographs on the listing showing the setting. A 4.5 out of 5 average across 459 reviews places it among the better-reviewed facilities of its kind. Dunedin is the closest city, and Queenstown, Christchurch, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura lie across South Island, so the pool fits into a wider tour of the island.

The Esplanade address in St Clair makes the pool easy to find from central Dunedin. Five photos accompany the listing. The council page carries the practical arrangements for a visit.

English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast. Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840.
