Fick se Poel, also known as Fick's Pool, is a tidal pool located in Hermanus on the Whale Coast of the Western Cape. The name "Fick se Poel" translates from Afrikaans to "Fick's Pool" in English, and its origin is linked to local history and the name of a prominent figure.
Historical Background: Fick's Pool is named after the Fick family, who were prominent figures in the early development of Hermanus. The pool itself was formed naturally over time by the erosion of coastal rocks, with the addition of a wall to form a tidal pool creating a serene and sheltered area. This process, combined with the efforts of local residents to maintain and preserve the area, has made Fick's Pool a beloved and tranquil spot.
Development and Community Involvement: The local community, including the Fick family, has played a significant role in maintaining the pool and its surroundings. Over the years, they have helped to ensure that the area remains a clean and safe environment for visitors. The pool's location and its natural beauty make it a unique attraction on the Whale Coast, drawing both locals and tourists seeking a more secluded and serene experience.
