Mermaid Beach AEME Surf Life Saving Club

The Mermaid Beach Surf Life Saving Club sits on Hedges Avenue at Mermaid Beach, on the central Gold Coast right by the beach. A much-loved surf club, it's a genuine local fixture — combining casual dining and good drinks with a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere and a lovely beachfront position overlooking the sand and surf.

The appeal is that combination of casual, good-value food, a good drinks offering and a beautiful beachfront setting at Mermaid Beach, ideal for a relaxed lunch, a family dinner or drinks watching the surf. Surf clubs have a wonderfully welcoming, easygoing character, and with its lovely beachfront location, it's become a genuine favourite for locals and visitors alike.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 780 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours, any membership or entry arrangements and events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a casual meal, a drink and lovely beach views, it's often just a matter of heading to the Mermaid Beach Surf Club.
