Why it's worth checking out
Lifeguard Tower 45 sits by the Seaway at Main Beach, at the northern end of the Gold Coast near The Spit. With 5 reviews behind its 3.6 rating, it's a well-regarded landmark.
The appeal is a classic slice of the Gold Coast beach scene — a lifeguard tower on the lovely Main Beach near the Seaway, a genuine marker for a beach day, a photo or simply soaking up the coastal setting where the beach meets the entrance. It's a lovely, free spot.
Beaches and their surrounds have changing conditions, tides and seasonal considerations, so check current details and any safety advice before you go, and always swim between the flags. Otherwise it's a free spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection and water.
