Eric Street Pool

A natural coastal beach area near Eric Street and the Ocean Beach Hotel. This local name refers to the coast, rather than a built swimming pool, and is kept separate from Peters Pool farther south.

Open on the CottBuzz map

Approximate coastal reference point near Eric Street, opposite the Ocean Beach Hotel. Use formal beach access from Marine Parade. This is not a built pool or a marked swimming enclosure.

The Town’s Beaches and Beach Reserves Local Law uses Eric Street Pool as a named beach area between the seaward projections of Eileen and Eric streets. It is distinct from the later proposal for a constructed ocean pool.

The map marker is an approximate orientation point near Eric Street, not a surveyed boundary or an identified safe swimming entry. Reef, swell, wind and tide all affect conditions. Use established beach access, check signs and current advice, and do not assume that “pool” means calm or enclosed water.
