Pittenweem Tidal Swimming Pool

Pittenweem Tidal Swimming Pool can be found just around the headland from the village of Pittenweem. The whole West Braes area has undergone a renewal project that includes the tidal pool, for more information and to support them visit West Braes Project.

Small car park with toilet block on the cliff and you have steps leading down from the cliffs to the seawater swimming pool. You also have a crazy golf area run by volunteers on the clifftop.

The best time to visit is 2 hours after high tide and up until 2 hours before high tide where you will also have a small area of sandy beach. At high tide, you can still swim but the sea will cover the walls and you may get some waves.

To help you with your visit we have the Pittenweem 3-day tide times:
