La Vallette Bathing Pools is a historic saltwater swimming spot on Guernsey’s east coast, featuring four unique pools, hot showers, a sun terrace and a café. The bathing pools are Victorian era intertidal structures consisting of three seawater pools and a horseshoe shaped swimming area. The ladies and gents pools were built in the 1870s, with the children's pools added 20 years later. The facilities include changing rooms with warm showers, lockers, and hooks for changing robes, dry bags and changing mats. —
