The North Baths has long been a beloved outdoor swimming spot in Wick for locals and visitors alike. Once home to lively swimming galas and community events, the pool was lovingly restored in recent years by dedicated volunteers. Their efforts have revived this historic site, making it a must-visit for those exploring Wick’s rich heritage.

Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and painted in bright white during annual clean-ups, the North Baths is more than just a swimming spot – it’s a symbol of Wick’s enduring community pride. Though there are no lifeguards or changing facilities, the raw, unspoiled setting is part of its charm.

Located just a short walk from Wick town centre, the North Baths is easily accessible and always open. Whether you’re braving a brisk swim, enjoying a coastal walk, or simply soaking in the sea air, this spot offers a peaceful escape and a glimpse into Wick’s maritime past. Visitors are encouraged to take care on the rocks and bring suitable footwear.
