McIver’s Ladies Baths

McIver’s Ladies Baths is a women and children only rock pool, with a small entry fee. Situated on a rocky outcrop, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding coastline, this secluded ocean bath is accessible via a staircase that winds its way down the cliff face from a nearby reserve.

The McIvers Ladies Baths is managed by the Randwick and Coogee Ladies Swimming Association (R&CLSA). The facility boasts a spacious 33.9-metre long ocean pool, a sun-kissed area for soaking up the rays, and amenities that include change rooms, toilets, and showers. Some of the showers are heated, with a small fee applying to use the warm water. A cozy clubhouse and sunroom provide additional spaces for relaxation, with the latter being a quiet area where patrons can unwind without distractions.

The bath is surrounded by native vegetation and grassy areas, creating a serene atmosphere that is enhanced by the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. To maintain this peaceful ambiance, patrons are respectfully asked to refrain from taking photographs and to be mindful of their fellow visitors’ privacy. A dress code is also in place, with nudity not permitted.
