Tinside Lido The Hoe, Plymouth, Devon, PL1 2AAIt’s easy to look at community pools in America and feel a pang of envy – but look no further as our coastal towns already have their own outdoor swimming pools that are brimming with community spirit and enthusiasm – just like Tinside Lido.

Plymouth is home to one of the most beautifully situated community pools in the UK, as it overlooks the English Channel on Devon’s post-card perfect sandy coastline.

Based in Plymouth harbour, this outdoor swimming pool is constantly collecting accolades to its name – in fact, it just can’t seem to shed the title of being in the top 10 of Europe’s best outdoor pools.

If you’ve ever wanted to hark back to the days of the British seaside resort, then this Lido originates from those glory days – built in 1935, it has the infamous art-deco design that we all associate with those postcard images – not to mention being Grade II listed.

To ensure its visitors have the best time splashing and swimming lengths in its turquoise waters, this pool is only open in the summer months but is accessible to everyone of all abilities.

For parents who aren’t as keen on getting in the water, there’s also a sun deck. This is an ideal place to slap on the factor 50 and read a book while the kids enjoy the outdoor pool.

If you’re looking for something to eat, or a coffee to enjoy on the terrace, then you won’t have to dry off and get changed to back into the city. Their café runs a wide variety of refreshments for all visitors, so you can continue to enjoy the best of the summer months by the pool.

You might also be surprised to know that this is a saltwater pool. There’s both a shallow and a deep end, which means that whatever your ability, you will get to enjoy the fun in the summer months.

The association is working with a window shutter and blinds company in Plymouth, Devon: Shuttercraft
