Freshwater East Beach is celebrated for its translucent azure water and fresh broad sands. Backed by dunes and grassy headlands this beach is a peaceful retreat sheltered by red sandstone cliffs. Popular with water sports enthusiasts, surfing, windsurfing, canoeing and sailing are prevalent. Fishing is also a favoured pastime with local fishermen launching their boats from the slipway. There are café and toilet facilities and ample parking near the beach. The pleasant village of Freshwater East is only minutes away for those who fancy a gentle stroll and a drink in the local pub.
