Freshwater Rockpool

Great pool but was closed to public this afternoon due to some swimming club event. Can I suggest these events are posted to the website so regular swimmers don’t waste the trip there.

Really nice ocean pool a short walk from the beach. There is an ocean channel off it. The pool is 50m and can get crowded.

Freshwater Rockpool isn’t only a great place to swim, but an awesome place to walk around the rocks, take photos and relax. Stunning views of the ocean and beach. Clean and usually not that busy.

I have yet to take a dip in this beautiful pool, but there were several folks enjoying a night swim and with the changing rooms close at hand this place is really nice.

Stunning view on the ocean. The swimming pool is a 50m with 7 lines. A shower is just there for before and after swim.

Set in breathtaking views of the ocean, Freshie beach and Manly beach. Truly one of the best rockpools in the Northern Beaches.

It was okay but for someone who is disabled after having a stroke I certainly wouldn't recommend it, miles too many stairs & hard to get down & up from the rock pools

My absolute favourite place to come for a swim and to lay on the beautiful rocks in the sun. It's a clean, tiled ocean pool with toilets, an outdoor shower and beautiful rocks/views, very close to freshwater beach. There are toilets and an outdoor open shower by the pool. Parking can be quite expensive unless you park on the street.

A Gorgeous well appointed ocean pool surrounded by an abundance of rock formation. The neighbouring environs are lush with bountiful bushland. The facilities are not up to scratch which is a major down point in an otherwise delightful ocean pool.

(3.5 stars)At the northern end of Freshwater Beach you’ll find an eight-lane 50-meter ocean pool. Freshwater Ocean Pool is accessed via a pathway from the busy beach, or from a set of stairs down from a paid carpark. The smart folk park just outside the expensively metered spaces walking about twenty more steps for free four-hour street parks on Lumsdaine Drive. The pool itself is a bit green for my liking, with a fresh blue paint job over aggregate that is on the cusp of becoming sharp.Over the far wall you’ll find an easy to access natural rock channel that powers you to a deeper rock pool. Come closer to high tide to experience it at its best and it will likely beat the pool hands down. Crowd-wise it’s a Northern Beaches affluent white mono-culture. Their monied-up Council though does provide good accessibility, including rails and ramps, untimed outdoor showers, and easy pathways. The lane markings they re-painted though do encourage lap swimmers to take up more than their fair share of the pool despite it being a public holiday.
