Anastasia's Pool, was a sea bath in Broome in Western Australia. It was destroyed in early 2014. The pool was built sometime between 1922 and 1929 by Patrick Percy for his wife Anastasia after whom the pool is named.The pool was constructed by the addition of a hand-placed concrete bottom to a small, intertidal, natural, rock pool found on Gantheaume Point in the locality of Minyirr, approximately 10 km south west of Broome. It is said that this work was undertaken by Patrick Percy so that his wife could exercise to help her arthritis.The remains of Anastasia's Pool are still a significant tourist attraction, despite it never having been on the formal heritage register.
