Tinside Lido is a beautifully restored art deco outdoor pool perched on Plymouth Hoe, with direct views across Plymouth Sound. The pool is filled with filtered seawater and features a circular design with stepped sun terraces, fountains, and a central fountain. Open during summer months, it offers a refreshing dip in a historic setting. The lido's distinctive crescent shape and white-and-blue color scheme make it one of the most photogenic swimming spots in the UK.
