Venetian Pool
A public pool opened in 1924 in a former coral rock quarry, surrounded by waterfalls, grottoes and Venetian-style arcades, and fed by natural spring water.
Venetian Pool is located in Coral Gables. Developer George Merrick converted a coral rock quarry into the pool, which opened in 1924. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is considered one of the most beautiful public pools in the United States. The water comes from natural groundwater springs and is replaced daily, and the pool features waterfalls, grottoes and stone bridges. Entry requires a timed reservation on the official website, and ticket prices are listed there as well. There are age and height restrictions for children. The pool is often closed for maintenance in winter.
