Gansbaai Tidal Pool can be found along the gravel road that is part of the Perlemoen Hiking Trail which runs parallel to Kusweg in Gansbaai. The large tidal pool has been a popular gathering spot for generations of revellers who enjoy swimming, diving, braaing and late-night shenanigans. 

The Gansbaai Tidal Pool is comprised of one large pool that varies in-depth, depending on the tide, and a shallow freshwater kiddies pool which is filled with spring water that flows down from an underwater spring.
