Tinside Lido

Summarized by AI

Swim in a unique 1935 Art Deco, Grade II listed saltwater pool with a sun deck, recently renovated and set right on the edge of Plymouth Hoe. Enjoy a proper pre-war seaside feel as you do laps in purified sea water, sunbathe, and take in panoramic views over Plymouth Sound—just be ready for cold water. It’s family-friendly, relatively inexpensive, and can get busy, so pre-booking in summer helps. After your swim, wander the Hoe, dip from the Tinside steps, or visit nearby cafes and restaurants.
