Amazing tour. that ocean Pool looks super enjoyable

[@vanessatrevino6613]

I’ve been to the one on O’ahu, Black Point Salt water pool! This has nothing on that! And you may run into a person or two but it’s pretty much my favorite place on O’ahu Hawai’i and a sweet short walk to! About 5 feet deep and the waves crash into it! Sea shells built right into it. A man had it built for his daughter because she was afraid of the ocean! If I could post pictures and videos..

[@TravelSzN]

that sounds wonderful! thanks for sharing!

[@irelandinsider5170]

Fabulous Geology 🤩👍☘️🌸

[@ozzy_fromhell]

Nice I’m actually on google maps rn and saw those two lakes through the satellite and I had to come and CZcams what those are 😂😂

[@TravelSzN]

haha nice! i love browsing google maps too

[@samanthananda4276]

It’s like one of my biggest dreams to visit California. Hope I do one day soon :). I just wish I got my own driver’s license so I can go out all the time. I failed my permit test. It would mean the world to me and make me the happiest person alive if I got my license without needing to get my permit. I wish my parents would let me do whatever I want as long as I don’t get into any trouble. I just want to live life to the fullest

[@TravelSzN]

You'll get there some day Samantha! I failed my driver's test the first time and passed the second time. It was the greatest freedom I experienced as a teenager. And California is a beautiful state! Good luck with your permit test next time! :)

[@rjcrabbe1210]

thank you, going today! :)

[@TravelSzN]

I hope you had fun!!

[@Idelee]

Thanks, great video, very informative. Thanks for the tide chart too. Do you remember what ft the waves were at low tide when you went?

[@TravelSzN]

When I went the waves were just a couple feet. Just be careful when you get down to the beach! :) and have a great time!

[@Aaron-fb6mb]

Ur goated

[@irving378yt7]

Hello how many feet was the tide when you went there ?

[@thisone3519]

I thought these pools were private property. Aren't they?

[@TravelSzN]

I saw a decent amount of people accessing it via the public beach - they were hiking there during low tide and the life guard there told me it is ok to be there! You can only get there at low tide and stay for a couple hours before the tide comes back in. There are some very nice homes directly above this pool that likely own the property right down to the beach. There are signs/gates for private property access to the homes behind the beach and pools. Obviously those signed off areas are private property lol

[@thisone3519]

Sweet. I always wanted to go to one since i found them on google earth

[@JaredandTasha]

the entire california beach coast is all public access except 2 military related spots.

[@mrstravel9381]

Did they drain the second pool?

[@TravelSzN]

There was still water in the pool to the left of the pool in this video thumbnail, I didn't notice any drained pools when I visited.

[@jacquiebarrios7335]

Pls don't say Los Angeles area. We are in Orange County..not LA. Not all of SoCal is LA

[@fernandopoblete6064]

What time do you have to visit to avoid high tides?

[@TravelSzN]

The tide chart is the video description - I would check out that chart and try to avoid getting there/returning within about 2 hours of high tide. Some days may be more accessible than others depending on water conditions. Have fun! :)

[@haleyandabigailsdad]
