Are there any swimming spots that are safe during strong tides?

Yes, even during strong tides, there are a few spots you can safely enjoy swimming. Oak Park Rock Pool is a great choice as it's naturally sheltered and provides a calm swimming environment, even when the ocean is rough. • Another safe option is the tidal pools at Little Congwong Beach. These pools remain relatively safe as they are protected from the surf, making them ideal for a swim when the ocean is choppy. • Always check local tide reports and heed any safety warnings, but these spots can be a great way to enjoy the water while staying safe.
