    Fairy Bower Rockpool

    Manly, New South Wales, Australia

    The pool

    A small tidal rockpool between Manly and Shelly Beach, refilled with every set.

    Fairy Bower is one of Sydney's quieter ocean pools, sitting on the rocks along the Cabbage Tree Bay walk between Manly and Shelly.

    It's tiny — really just a scoop in the sandstone — and the waves wash over the edge at high tide. That's the appeal.
