The pool has a reasonable amount of sand space for the kids to play around and for the parents to sit back and relax on the beach. The kids spent some fun time building a sand castle while the adults spent a couple of relaxing hours on our beach blanket. Australia has some of the highest levels of UV radiation in the world so make sure to apply sunscreen (SPF50+) every time you're out and about. We didn't get to swim in the pool however we do believe that the pool is very deep so be watchful of your kids. Overall, the pool is nice and is a great spot for a day trip. If you time it right and avoid the crowd, this entire place will be yours so it's more like a private pool in nature.
There is also the Red Hands Cave located nearby, which is accessible both by car and a walking track. However, we didn't have enough time to visit the cave during this trip. We were captivated by the tranquil beauty of Jellybean Pool, as we had the place all to ourselves. The visit to Red Hands Cave will have to be saved for another day trip!
