📖 About Freshwater Beach
Freshwater Beach holds a special place in Australian surfing history — it's where Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku demonstrated surfboard riding in 1914, introducing the sport to Australia. This sheltered 350m beach between Manly and Curl Curl is great for families and beginner surfers.
