West Braes Tidal Pool offers a location for wild / sea swimming and has been a long time favourite facility at the West Braes of Pittenweem. It has been enjoyed for decades by the local community. The tidal pool has been extensively refurbished after years of decline and lack of maintenance. The side access and retaining walls were repaired and the end dam wall was strengthened with a new valve fitted to allow emptying for maintenance. We had steps repaired and additional hand rails installed right down to the beach. The original Victorian terraces were made accessible and a terrace with benches and coat hooks reinstated. A ramp which was built by the contractor was retained and future work is underway to improve wheeled access to the beach and level access to the right hand side of the pool.
