No doesn't that just look inviting? And before somebody comments about the fact that the water is probably cold because there are all those people on the side and nobody in the pool. This was taken at the Ironkids event last weekend. The people are parents and supporters watching the kids in the water in the other pool.
When we were small we often went to swim at the pools (both the pool by the Smartie Train and the kiddie slide pool) at Kings Beach. I remember the day so well when I decided that I was big enough to go and try out the "big" slide at McArthur's Pool. The kiddies slide (and Smartie Train pool) closed down before I had kids so they never got to experience that part of my childhood memories. After the slide…
Beach-goers and bathers on Kings Beach under the watchful eye of the harbour giraffes
Looking towards Denville Beach and the McArthur Pool Complex in the late afternoon standing on the little surf wall I posted about a few days ago.

If you are on the beachfront in Humewood one tends to think that east is directly over the bay and west is then behind you (if you are facing the bay). The curve of the beachfront is slightly deceptive with west actually being to the left which means that the sun goes down over the city centre.
