Secret ocean swimming spot with crystal clear water - and it's in the UK

A beautiful and secluded swimming spot in a Cornwall village has been revealed to the masses after it was featured in a viral TikTok.

The video shows the gorgeous Chapel Pool in all its glory.

The clip, which comes from TikTok user @ed_morris, begins by showing a woman swimming in the crystal clear water amongst the rocks with the ocean waves visible mere metres away.

After seeing the serene pool, the camera pans to the right and shows the waves crashing against the rocks at the cliff edge, all while the song ‘Waves’ by Mr. Probz plays in the background.

The stunning and large rock pool is located in the village of Polperro in Cornwall, which is home to a fishing harbour and port as well as this secret swimming spot.

Chapel Pool itself can be found by climbing the steps after the Blue Peter pub, walking along the coast path until the first left turn, then climbing down the steps to get to the rock pool.

The area is well known for its beautiful beaches and great food as well as being home to Polperro Model Village.

Viewers were clearly in awe of the surreal pool, with one user commenting: “Wow, that’s so beautiful, who needs to go abroad.”
