Swim in Jubilee Pool, Penzance, England

Perhaps the best thing to see in Penzance is the Art Deco-inspired Jubilee pool, one of Europe’s last saltwater lidos. The enormous triangular public pool was built in the 1930s, during Penzance's heyday as a fashionable seaside resort. It recently underwent a $3.73 million renovation. The pool was designed by Captain F. Latham, the Penzance Borough Engineer, and opened in 1935, the year of King George V's Silver Jubilee. The pool is triangular with graceful curves and is considered the best surviving example of its type, with the exception of the Saltdean Lido in Brighton.
