The secret, unfortunately, is out, and what was once a haven for in-the-know locals has become one of the most popular spots for a dip on the False Bay coastline.
Set in the seaside suburb of Kalk Bay, Dalebrook is a pool for all types, from kids who splash in the shallows or leap off the central rocks, to local grannies who come for the chat as much as the swim. It’s a sizeable pool though, so there’s always space to join the few who come to pace out a few laps. It’s a perfect stop on a Cape Point road trip, but equally worthy as a destination on its own. Warm up afterwards with coffee and breakfast from the delightful Dalebrook Café.
