NORTHERN BEACHES. WHALE BEACH

Concrete pool builders in Whale Beach.

Steel-reinforced concrete pools drawn for headland view sites in Whale Beach. Designed and built by a family practice in Belrose since 1968.

Building in Whale Beach

A pool drawn to the block.

Whale Beach is a quiet enclave of homes on steep headland blocks between Palm Beach and Avalon. Most blocks sit on Hawkesbury sandstone on the headland, with the land steep headland blocks falling to the ocean. We read those conditions before a line goes on the page.

On a Whale Beach site the first question is access, and here that means steep, tight blocks where rock is craned out and shotcrete is pumped down the fall. Once that is sorted we draw the shell to the block. An infinity edge is the build we put on these blocks most often.

Whale Beach is about 33 minutes up the peninsula from Belrose, so our supervisors are on sites nearby through the week. One Wright supervisor stays on your project from excavation to handover, with no subcontractor chain.

Local conditions

What building in Whale Beach involves.

Ground

Hawkesbury sandstone on the headland, which sets how the shell is reinforced.

Slope

The land here is steep headland blocks falling to the ocean, so the design works with the fall.

Access

Steep, tight blocks where rock is craned out and shotcrete is pumped down the fall.

Coastal exposure

Open ocean frontage, so marine-grade fittings are standard.

Council

Steep headland blocks face coastal and geotechnical controls.

Distance

About 33 minutes up the peninsula from Belrose.

Pool styles

What suits a Whale Beach block.

Infinity edges

A wet or infinity edge that runs the water out toward the view.

View-facing pools

Shells set to read with the outlook, the edge lined up with the horizon.

Raised shells

Part-raised concrete shells that hold a level platform on a sloping block.

Our process

From first visit to handover.

One Wright supervisor runs your Whale Beach build from the first site visit through design, in-house engineering, construction and handover, with no subcontractor chain in between. See our full four-step process.

Why Wright Pools

A family practice since 1968.

★★★★★

Fantastic job on our Northern Beaches pool. Tight access and major sandstone excavation. The project manager had a great eye for detail and the level of finish is superb.

We have a beautiful pool now thanks to Wright Pools. Special thanks to Luke, who went above and beyond to make sure any issues were sorted out.

Whale Beach Residence

Whale Beach

We built the Whale Beach Residence here, a low wet-edge shell facing the ocean. It is the kind of headland pool this suburb suits. See more in the full gallery, or read our residential approach.

Frequently asked

Whale Beach pool questions.

Can you build a pool on a difficult Whale Beach block?

Yes. Steep, tight blocks where rock is craned out and shotcrete is pumped down the fall. A concrete pool is drawn to the space, so a compact shell is built to the same standard as a long lap pool. We assess the block at the site visit before pricing.

Will a concrete pool last in Whale Beach's coastal conditions?

Yes. Open ocean frontage, so marine-grade fittings are standard. A steel-reinforced shell with the right interior, coping and marine-grade fittings is engineered for that exposure, which is why concrete has lasted on this coast for decades.

How far is Whale Beach from your base?

Whale Beach is about 33 minutes up the peninsula from Belrose. We build across the whole Northern Beaches, so our supervisors are on sites nearby regularly.
