Visiting Newport's Rock Pool
Newport Rock Pool is an ocean pool that has such a classic look to it; 50m long, a skinny rectangle with a cool chain link fence around the perimeter.
A concrete structure that stands out from its rocky surrounds. The walk to the pool includes a bit of a beach or rocky crossing depending on how the sand is distributed at the time.
A great spot to visit and take some sultry, early-morning photos. A photographer’s dream on one of those rich-coloured sunrise days.
