Is Venetian Pool worth it for photographers?

Worth itFor photos

For beauty & photography, Venetian Pool delivers.

A genuinely magical, one-of-a-kind swim — spring-fed water, caves, waterfalls, and porticos that feel like a film set. The catch: it's seasonal (typically closed in winter), small and fills to capacity early on hot days, has restrictions for young children, and is well outside the tourist core.
