A large outdoor swimming pool complex on Kirk Ness promontory in North Berwick. The complex is of brick and concrete construction, there is seating on the north, east and west sides around a rectangular sloping pool. There are single cubicle changing rooms on the south and east sides and a diving platform on the south side. The entire pool area is surrounded with the metal skeleton of a fence or wind break. To the south-east of the pool area is a leisure centre and cafe. The entire leisure complex is now abandoned and is subject to minor vandalism. It does not appear to be maintained and the pool area is filling with seaweed and sand.
