Why you should go…

Coral Gables turned an old coral rock quarry into this dreamlike public pool in 1924, designed by Phineas Paist and Denman Fink with cascading waterfalls, cave-like grottoes, arched Venetian bridges, and a palm-shaded sun deck. Cool aquifer water, drained and refilled daily, keeps it refreshing even in August, and it holds a spot on the National Register of Historic Places, rare company for a swimming pool. Non-resident adult admission is $23; arrive early, as daily capacity is limited.
