Likes:
Insanely cheap (20¢); a good length for laps; the fish and crabs that inhabit the pool are female; dolphins come up to the ocean edge and gawk (you can gawk back); never crowded.
Don't likes:
The cold water showers; the old, run-down changing facilities; the pool's isolation (under a high cliff and can only be seen by swimmers at the pool further along the coast); no lifeguard after 5 P.M. in the summer; no proper security after 5 P.M. (the gate is not locked).
