Welcome to Coolangatta Surf Lifesaving Club

Coolangatta Surf Life Saving Club welcomes members of all ages and abilities.

Established in 1922, Coolangatta Surf Life Saving Club has evolved from humble beginnings into one of the Gold Coast’s premier surf clubs. Our iconic clubhouse, rebuilt in 2018, stands as a testament to our enduring community presence.

For generations, local families have contributed to our proud tradition of volunteer beach patrols. Today, over 500 active members continue this legacy, donating thousands of patrol hours annually to ensure swimmer safety on Coolangatta Beach.
