About Palmiet Rock Pools
Palmiet Rock Pools is an exceptional natural freshwater swimming destination situated directly along the R44 (Clarence Drive) in Kleinmond. Located where the river cuts through smooth, polished granite boulders just upstream from the main lagoon, this vibrant local hotspot is famous for its crystal-clear, amber-tinted waters colored naturally by mountain fynbos tannins. The deep natural channels form an ideal playground for outdoor adventure, highly celebrated by visitors for its thrilling cliff-jumping spots and bridge-diving ledges. It operates on a free, public access model 24 hours a day, Monday to Sunday.
