Freshwater Beach

Freshwater Beach is a coastal beach in New South Wales nestled between two headlands, featuring golden sand with a small inlet in the northern area. The site includes a saltwater swimming pool with multiple lanes, changing facilities, and dining options overlooking the water.

The beach emerged from an early land grant that laid the foundation for regional development. In the 20th century it became a pivotal location in the country's surfing history.

The beach holds a central place in local surfing culture and represents a key location where modern beach traditions took hold in the country. Visitors can sense this heritage by watching the water sports enthusiasts who regularly train here.

Visitors should know the beach gets crowded during warm months and is quieter in the mornings. Parking is paid and the site offers good accessibility with plenty of amenities on-site.

The beach connects to a neighboring strand through a special tunnel carved into the coastal rocks. This hidden passage offers a surprising exploration for visitors keen to fully discover the area.
