Freshwater Beach

Freshwater is a stunning beach with a large rock pool that adds to its charm. The small
creek at the north end of the beach, which supplied campers and picnickers with clean water
in the 1900s, gave the beach its name.
Freshwater Beach has a secluded and compact feel due to its location between two rocky
headlands. Due to the sandbanks, the waves are fairly consistent and the northerly headland
provides protection from the summer northeasterly winds. Freshwater is a popular beach for
young families due to its charming playground. Visitors are welcome to use the free electric
barbecues and pretty shaded picnic tables in a pleasant reserve behind the dunes.
Freshwater is often referred to as a surf beach, but there is also a safe, shallow area where
you can splash around. The Ocean side has very great waves in the one to two-meter mark
ideal for those figuring out how to surf. There is a break that is ideal for novices at the
middle-northern end of the beach for those with less experience. For the more experienced
surfers, they can head towards the southern end where the waves can get very high with the
right swell.

year are ideal for visiting a freshwater beach. However, in most cases, the best time to visit a
freshwater beach is during the warmer months of the year, when water sports and swimming
are more popular. Before going to any beach, it's important to check the weather forecast
and the water conditions to make sure it's safe to swim and enjoy the water.
