Step Rock Tidal Pool

Step Rock Tidal Pool
St Andrews

A. I.-Generated Article:

According to web search results, Step Rock Tidal Pool in St Andrews can’t be accessed as it is now part of the Aquarium. The pool opened in 1902 although a bathing shelter was around in the late 1800s. The pool measured 300ft long by 100ft wide and the depth from 2ft 4ins to 8ft. There was also a small paddling pool. The area has a long history of being used for swimming even before a pool was built. The first bathing shelter was erected in 1873 and by 1887 the Step Rock had its own lifeguard, William Malloch.

I remember well seeing the whole area being taken over by the aquarium. It should never have been passed by the council. The cliffs where I used to get changed before and after the dook are out of shot at the base of the cliffs. It was a really good outdoor tidal pool. I will never visit the aquarium.

I have never been to the aquarium, Amelia. It's not my sort of thing. I like to photograph it, though, as it's very pleasantly situated. Thanks for your visit and very kind comment. Best wishes, Joe
