Graaff’s Pool

TIME : 2016/2/17 10:32:12

This natural sea pool was named after the Graaff family, who owned a mansion on the Sea Point beachfront in the mid-19th century and built the walkway and protective wall (now mostly demolished) for it. In the 20th century it became a meeting spot for local gay men. The award-winning short film Behind the Wall (viewable on YouTube) reveals the pool's fascinating history.
