Cool down at these inner city pools

When the summer heat hits the Cape, our local beaches fill up, making it difficult to find an ideal spot in the refreshing waters for a dip.

If you’re looking for an alternative spot to cool down, we have compiled a list of inner-city pools to escape the crowds and unwind with a cocktail in hand.
