Heated Olympic sized Pool and Lido

Opened in 1934, Stonehaven Open Air Pool is the UK's only art deco Olympic sized sea water lido. The summer season runs from the last Saturday in May until early September, the pool is heated, making it a perfect trip whatever the weather! For little ones, there is a paddling pool, the Splash Cafe for a bite to eat and a chute for hours of fun! Dog swims take place in September and there is a Cold Water Season from late October through February.

And Summer is Over 🥲! We are now closed but… we’ll be back for a cold water season in November!

See Facebook for details.
