Jubilee Pool
If you like swimming, you must visit the Jubilee pool. It is the largest sea water pool in the UK and can hold up to 600 swimmers.

However, the geothermal pool is heated to between 30 and 35 degrees via a 410m deep geothermal well. Jubilee Pool is a community-run pool that has lifeguards and there is a café which offers a seasonal take away menu, fresh coffee and local tray bakes from St. Ives Bakery. It’s a great place for lunch!
