Beachfront lido that's free to use to close this summer ahead of major renovation
ONE of the UK's best free lidos will close in the height of summer to undergo renovation works. Shoalstone Seawater Pool has experienced cracking due to harsh tides and will be closed off to visitors in a matter of weeks. 4 4 Shoalstone Pool in Brixham announced in 2024 that it had received Government funding to go towards a £750,000 pool upgrade. The pool's managers said the work would include the reconstruction of the north west corner after waves crashing against the pool caused cracks to appear. Sadly, work on the pool means that it will close to swimmers. David Thomas, operations manager said: "We'll be closing the pool in August for essential upgrades. "Thanks to a government grant, we'll be installing a new deep end, a raised deck, replacing railings, and reinforcing the walls to ensure safety for future generations." The website states that the pool could be closed off as soon as July to prepare for the repairs. An official date for the closure is yet to be announced. The swimming pool is 53 metres long making it one of the largest tidal pools in the world and sits on the edge of Shoalstone Beach in Devon. There is no entry charge, but they do ask for a voluntary donations. It asks for donations of £3.50 per swim, or £8 per family to help cover running costs. As well as regular swimming sessions, there are other activities like pooch-friendly swims, wellbeing days, fun days, twilight and night swims. New £4million lido to open in UK next year 4 On the side, the pool offers sessions of yoga and tai chi. They also hold Santa Runs and Beer Festivals for the people of Brixham and Torbay. The pool is tidal and relies on the sea to fill it, so it's always best to visit in the hours either side of low tide during the summer months. Shoalstone Pool is considered a gem for locals and visitors alike. One visitors wrote on Tripadvisor: "This venue is truly unique. A beautiful, well cared for seawater pool. I have spent many sunny days swimming in the pool, as an adult and child." Another added: "Why doesn't Brixham shout about this place? It's awesome! We found out about it by accident, from someone in a shop. It's a little further away from the harbour - but I always think the best places are the ones off the beaten track." A third said: "I had the best time in Shoalstone pool. So invigorating. Would definitely go again when next in beautiful Brixham. Easy to park and the views are amazing." Plus, here are the UK's best outdoor water parks and lidos – as temperatures are set to rise over the weekend. And another lido that's set to reopen this summer after three years – and an £8.75 million upgrade.
