Visiting Sawtell's Rock Pool

I haven’t been to Sawtell Memorial Pool yet, but I have been “researching” lots online and can’t wait to get to this northern NSW beauty. It looks like one of those natural bottomed pools that I love to explore below the surface with my snorkel on.

Thanks to my friend Jules and her girls for sharing their pictures from a recent holiday at Sawtell. They can confirm that this pool is beautiful!
