FRIDAY NIGHT MEALS! BAR OPEN FROM 6pm. ALL WELCOME!

Welcome to the Christies Beach Surf Lifesaving Club

The Christies Beach Surf Life Saving Club is located on the esplanade at Christies Beach, overlooking the beach and an aquatic reserve. We are a volunteer Surf Life Saving Club, with quite a number of dedicated members patrolling the beach in the Summer seasons. We are also very active in the competitive scene of Surf Life Saving, with a very long list of past and current accolades. Come visit our club to see them!

We are also proud to announce that we have been selected as a joint host of the 2012 World Surf Lifesaving Championships! Now is the perfect time to join and show your Christies Beach pride!

Aussies 2012

We extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to the family, friends and club mates of Matthew Barclay from Maroochydore SLSC. Our thoughts are with you all at this very sad time.

Health and Nutrition Session - Tuesday 25th October from 6:30pm
