Dropped into the Tinside Lido where the pool is currently closed but its a great place to go swimming in the summer. There is a small fee but you can spend all day there. There's great views from the Lido plus toilets and also the coffee pod serving hot drinks that are very reasonably priced. The lovely Lily who served us was a great host. Big thankyou to Lily really enjoyed our coffee and meeting you.
Definitely be returning in the summer next year to have the full experience.

Heritage! It's best lido as a thalasso pool. But, sea water not heated-up, freezing even summer season.

On a hot sunny day, this has to be one of the best days out! Affordable tickets for Plymouth residents and only £2 to hire a sun lounger for whole visit. Lifeguards were attentive and staff were friendly. The pool is great, it isn't heated but is refreshing once you get used to it. Would 100% recommend and re-visit :)

I love this lido! There is clean sea water (in June is still cold!), nice staff and the best - limited people are allowed, so it's not over crowded. Facilities are decent. There are lockers in the changing room. Small cafe shop offer ice cream, snacks and hot & cold drinks and accept cards. Also you can hire a sunbed (£2.00) or deck chair (£1.50) and pay by card at cafe (2023 prices update).
