Beach Patrol

Patrolling our beaches underpins all surf lifesaving activities. All life-savers that patrol the beach have received comprehensive training in water safety and surf rescue.

This is a voluntary service that our members provide to the Community.

All children receive tuition in water safety as part of their club activities.

An important part of their development is learning basic resuscitation skills and surf rescue certificates are awarded to those who attend and pass these courses.

Social Events

If you can picture yourself looking over a setting sun on our magnificent balcony deck with a cold glass of champagne or cider, perhaps our social life might appeal to you. We hold many social events during the Surf-lifesaving season including;

Friday night dinners at the Club

Dinners after Surf Carnivals

Sleep-overs for Junior members

Get-to-know you BBQ's

Club Bocce Tournaments

Our extensive bar facilities are always open on weekends if you just want to drop in for a quick refresher or catch up with friends.
