Freshwater Beach

In the northern suburbs, Freshwater is one of the city’s most underrated beaches. That said, it will get busy here on a hot day. The water is crystal clear and the sand is always golden and warm. Tucked away at the northern end you’ll find a nice rock pool and a walkway that leads up a cliff face. From the top you can take photos of the whole beach. I like to shoot here over the summer months (December through February), in particular at sunset when the descending sun casts a warm glow over the sand and water. Because of Daylight Savings, it’s not unusual to find people on the beach or swimming at 7 or 8 pm when it’s warm.
