Pemberton Pool is a free freshwater swimming hole tucked away in the forest. The lush green surroundings and still water make it a dreamy spot for photos, especially with the morning light coming through the trees.

While it’s a beautiful location, we found the facilities a bit run down and in need of some upkeep. The water can be quite brown and murky, with a muddy bottom that might not be for everyone but it’s all part of the natural charm.
