South Maroubra Surf Club on Maroubra Beach

About us

A volunteer club since 1959

South Maroubra Surf Life Saving Club Inc. is a voluntary organisation, established in 1959, that provides a safe beach environment at the south end of the iconic Maroubra Beach. We are affiliated with Surf Life Saving Sydney, Surf Life Saving NSW and Surf Life Saving Australia.

The club is nestled in Arthur Byrne Reserve, off Fitzgerald Ave and Bernie Kelly Drive, South Maroubra. There is a 200 plus space car park, and a bus stop just 250 metres away. We are in the Randwick City Council area.

Our management

Run by members, for members

The club is administered by a Board of Directors, elected annually by our members. The current President is Mr Paul Fownes OAM APM, an active lifesaver for over 25 years. A number of committees help the directors run the best club we can.
