Royal Bay? Pool There's always a seat open for you at Royal Bay. This sprawling oasis on Chill Island? is the largest pool at sea, with over 40,000 gallons of water.
Pools are typically small and no deeper than 5 or 6 feet. Diving and jumping is not permitted; you are welcome to swim laps, but each lap will be short, and the pools will likely be crowded at peak hours.
