Harbord Shopping Centre Freshwater Shops

Harbord is a suburb on Sydney's Northern Beaches, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is located between Curl Curl and Queenscliff beaches and is part of the Warringah local government area. It is popular stopping point on the Manly to Curl Curl walk, and hosts Freshwater Beach, a beach with a good family-friendly atmosphere. It's also, where Australia's love of surfing was born when, in 1915, Hawaiian surfer Duke Kahanamoku rode a surfboard for the first time in Australia. A statue of the Duke on the northern headland commemorates the event.

Harbord Beach (called Freshwater by some, but Freshie by the locals), is one of Sydneys Northern Beaches most picturesque and smallest beaches, is just 350m long, sitting snugly between two rocky headlands on Queenscliff Bay, however it is also one of the more popular beaches.

Harbord Village Shopping Centre offers great restaurants, street cafes, supermarkets and take away eateries. There is also a recently opened restaurant in a fine location overlooking the beach, and down the road a little, a pub known ironically as the Harbord Hilton, due to its previous state of dis-repair but which has recently been modernised and is a mere 200 metres walk from the beach.

Another attraction is the Harbord Diggers, a Leagues club which offers a huge range of facilities from gymnasiums, pool, sports classes, lawn bowls and snooker rooms. The Harbord Diggers boasts glorious views of the ocean and Freshwater beach.
