My visit to Freshwater Beach left a lasting impression. As I strolled along the shoreline, the gentle breeze and the soothing sound of waves provided an instant sense of tranquility. The beach's soft golden sands seemed to stretch endlessly, inviting me to lay down and soak up the sun.

Freshwater Beach is a paradise for water enthusiasts. The calm waters make it perfect for swimming, and the waves beckon surfers of all skill levels. I couldn't resist the temptation to take a dip and cool off in the crystal-clear sea.

What sets Freshwater Beach apart is its historical significance. It's here that Duke Kahanamoku, the legendary Hawaiian swimmer, introduced surfing to Australia back in 1914. The bronze statue of Duke, positioned prominently on the beach, serves as a reminder of this pivotal moment in Australian surfing history.

Surrounded by lush coastal vegetation and towering cliffs, Freshwater Beach offers more than just sun and surf. There are well-maintained picnic areas where families can enjoy meals together, and modern amenities such as showers and nearby cafes ensure a comfortable visit.

In conclusion, Freshwater Beach is not just a beach; it's an experience. Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, this coastal gem has it all. My visit left me with unforgettable memories, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to explore the beauty of the...

Great beach for the family to visit for the day, as a lot quieter than Manly beach and no tourists. If you are into surfing or like waves, there is usually a good swell at this beach but sheltered by the wind. There are plenty of parking options near by and places to grab breakfast or lunch just a short walk from the beach if you don't pack your own. There are showers at the beach entrances so you can wash all the sand and salt off before jumping in the car. If you are a local Manly resident it's also nice to walk to Freshwater heads from Manly. You just walk over Queenscliff hill and then around the back of Freshwater beach and at the end of the beach walk out till you find a small track to the saltwater pool. Carry on to the end of the headland to get a great view of the...

Great beach for the family. The beach is clean with clear water. It has life savers, is shallow for young kids, great for first time boogie boarders, body surfers or younger kids jumping waves. Some of the area also seems popular with beginners to intermediate surfers.

There is also some rock pools for the kids we spotted crabs, sea urchins, and many sea shell creatures.

Water near the rocks looked popular for snorkellers also with gentle waves ideal.

Close by are toilets and a Cafe. Cafe very popular so br prepared to wait during holiday season. Serves fish and chips and few other yummy beachside meals. Food is great.

Paid parking next to beach or free in the streets nearby.

Will be back...

The beach is quite nice. Very popular place and it’s a bit difficult to find parking. There is a parking lot for up to 12 hours paid parking (until 7pm), street was fully parked when I went there last time, so you may consider visiting earlier if you would like to have free street parking closer to the beach.

Great SeaPool and beach. But, the carparking fees are are an absolute joke... 10 dollars buys you half an hour! What a rip-off, thanks to the local council, this place is not a reasonable place to stay! We were appalled by the mercenary attitude towards carparking fees here

Great family beach. Short walk to the pools to the north and can traverse the rocks and through a cave to the south to Manly. Lots of cafes close to the area. Parking can get difficult during the afternoons and weekends, but it's very easy to see why.
