Local tip
Restaurant bookings are essential, so advance reservations are a practical choice for lunch or dinner.

Coolum Surf Club is a licensed beachfront club and restaurant overlooking Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast. Its coastal setting and relaxed atmosphere suit casual meals, coffee stops, drinks and social occasions close to the sand.

The Beachside Restaurant serves lunch and dinner, with a menu built around premium Australian beef and fresh seafood. The café adds coffee and sweet treats for lighter visits. The dining room is suited to a range of occasions, from an easy daytime meal to an evening gathering with friends or family.

The club also provides a broad drinks offering, including wine, cocktails and beer on tap. Bar facilities, regular entertainment and a gaming room with gaming machines, TAB, sports betting and Keno give the venue options beyond the restaurant. These facilities make the club suitable for adults looking for a meal followed by a drink, live entertainment or club-style recreation.

Groups can use the venue for weddings, corporate occasions and other functions, with the beachfront setting providing a clear coastal backdrop for organised events. Function enquiries are handled separately from restaurant bookings, making the club relevant for both informal dining and planned celebrations.

Coolum Surf Club is also connected to Coolum Beach Surf Life Saving Club. Spending at the licensed club helps support volunteer surf lifesavers, including the equipment and training needed for beach patrols and rescue work. That community role adds a practical purpose to the venue’s restaurant, bar and events offering.

Overall, Coolum Surf Club combines beachside dining with club facilities in a setting suited to visitors seeking Australian seafood and beef, café fare, drinks, entertainment, gaming or a function venue. Restaurant bookings are essential, particularly for planned lunch and dinner visits.
