Dedicated to beach safety with “No Lives Lost Between the Flags”, Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club provides a vital service to the local community and visitors alike. The club also offers a beautiful, modern venue which boasts two outdoor decks with unparalleled coastal views, delightful dining and bar areas, and a state-of-the-art gaming room. Something special planned? The top-floor function room comfortably seats 180 for your wedding reception, product launch or conference needs. Or soak up the sea air on our lawn area for your wedding, conference or event. Knock back a coldie at the bar and when you’re ready for a bite, the Surf Club Restaurant with its range of tempting meals is open seven days with all-day dining plus breakfast Saturday and Sunday.

The Club was first established in 1925 to attract tourists to the area by providing a safe beach for swimmers. Surfers Paradise owes its progress and status - and the safety of its visitors - to earlier generations of benefactors who had a vision. While providing an outstanding model of surf life saving on the busiest and best known beach in Australia, the quality and courage of our members goes beyond personal interest. In 1958 acts of heroism and self sacrifice were displayed when members of the club were catapulted into the limelight when they heroically participated in a shark attack rescue. This resulted in the club receiving the "Meritorious Award for Bravery" from Surf Life Saving Australia and six members receiving Royal Humane Society awards. In addition to our volunteer surf life saving services, the Surfers Paradise Surf Life Saving Club has a Supporters Club which offers members, their guests and visitors with an atmosphere like no other. Set just back from the beach where you can take in all the rest and relaxation of a beach environment. The Champions Bar offers a number of popular beers on tap as well as a number of other beers, spirits and mixers available. Facilities include TAB, Keno and some of the latest pokie machines, as well as a number of large screen televisions tuned for Fox Sports and other television programs. Olivers Kitchen has a wide variety of meals on the menu and puts emphasis on casual Australian dining. Support your local Surf Life Saving Club and the Community whilst enjoying your favourite beverage. Our newly refurbished function room offers breathtaking views over the iconic Surfers Paradise beach. The function room offers the perfect setting for any event or function with bar and restaurant facilities for hire on the top floor of the Club. Whether your function is large scale or an intimate gathering, we cater for all business formal and casual events, birthdays, weddings, cocktail parties, training and more!
