This natural sea pool was named after the Graaff family, who bought a mansion on the Sea Point beachfront in the early 20th century, and often wandered down the walkway to the pool in their silks. It later became a meeting spot for gay men. The award-winning short film Behind the Wall (viewable on YouTube) reveals the pool's fascinating history.
