Snorkeling at Freshwater Beach

Snorkeling at Freshwater Beach

Sun, Nov 1, 12:00 AM
From Sydney Snorkelling Meetup Group
4.8

Freshwater is a beautiful beach just North of Manly. As it is an open beach, it will be subject to surf conditions, and would not be suitable for absolute beginners even in very calm conditions. That being said, we can have Fairlight Beach as a back up plan if it is too rough. We can meet in the car park above the ocean pool at 11am and make a decision once we see what it is like. [https://goo.gl/maps/rsoULhHoAk72](https://goo.gl/maps/rsoULhHoAk72) If one of our locals can get there early and let us know if it is suitable that would be great. The only Beach Cam I could find is this. [https://brasurf.com.au/cam/freshwater](https://brasurf.com.au/cam/freshwater) So, keep an eye on the group chat.

Oak Park to Salmon Haul Bay Snorkel.

Oak Park to Salmon Haul Bay Snorkel.

Sun, Nov 29, 12:00 AM
From Sydney Snorkelling Meetup Group
4.8

**Snorkelling from Oak Park to Salmon Haul Bay, Cronulla.** We can meet at the end of Jibbon Street at 11.00am. [https://goo.gl/maps/cpP8w1NDVv52](https://goo.gl/maps/cpP8w1NDVv52) This time is close to the peak of the high tide where the visibility should be at its best and the current at its lowest. Feel free to stay around Oak Park if you don't feel confident with the snorkel to Salman Haul Bay. Or if it is rough there, feel free to walk round to Salmon Haul Bay where it is much more protected and meet us there. Last year was indeed too rough. but we still enjoyed a snorkel at both locations, however we walked between the two. It's an easy entry point to the right of the rock pool. We can explore here for awhile before we head off on our journey. Once we reach our destination we can again explore for awhile then head back to Oak Park via the costal walking track. We can grab a coffee and something to eat after at a nearby cafe. Or follow the path to Cronulla. Looking forward to seeing you there. NB; Our regular Sunday weekly Un-hosted Snorkel will still be going ahead at Shelly Beach.
