Why it's worth checking out

The Southport Surf Life Saving Club sits on MacArthur Parade at Main Beach, on the northern 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 Main Beach setting, 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, the Southport Surf Club has become a genuine favourite for locals and visitors alike.

With a 4.3 rating from more than 1,700 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours, any membership or sign-in 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 Southport Surf Club at Main Beach.
