A bay in Auckland where rock formations almost entirely enclose the water from the sea, so that it forms a natural, shallow swimming pool. Because the rocks shelter the water, the bay is calm and sheltered from open-sea swell, which is what makes it useful for an easy swim or a paddle. The rocks that make the pool are the feature to know before you go, since they are what you see first. It is one of the lesser-known spots on Auckland's coast, found by people who go looking for it.
