Freshwater Rockpool
Last updated October 2026
Freshwater Rockpool is a 50 m ocean pool at the northern end of Freshwater Beach. No lifeguard service is listed for the pool itself; council lifeguards patrol Freshwater Beach from the last weekend in August until late May. The pool closes regularly for cleaning and refilling, so check the council cleaning roster before you go. The council lists a shower and toilets, and Freshwater Beach has an accessible playground and a playground at its southern end. Within a short walk (OpenStreetMap) are DD Collective (restaurant, about 290 m), Bau Truong (restaurant, about 330 m) and Teddy Larkin's (restaurant, about 330 m).
