An upstairs table in the Bayview Restaurant and Bar offers a different dining setting from the ground-floor Boathouse Restaurant and outdoor deck.

The Surf Club Mooloolaba is a licensed surf lifesaving club on The Esplanade, facing Mooloolaba beach on the Sunshine Coast. The venue combines casual dining, drinks, entertainment and community activities in a beachfront setting, making it suited to relaxed meals, catch-ups and group occasions.

Dining is available throughout the day, with the offering including meals, coffee, cake and beer. The Boathouse Restaurant provides a spacious indoor dining area, while an outdoor deck gives guests the option of dining in the open air. Upstairs, the Bayview Restaurant and Bar provides a separate setting with broad views across the beach frontage.

The atmosphere is informal and social rather than formal. The club has a bar, regular live music and a calendar of raffles, members’ draws, sports events, promotions and special events. Live music is presented on Friday and Saturday nights and on Sunday afternoons, adding to the venue’s role as an evening and weekend meeting place.

As part of a surf lifesaving club, the venue has a strong connection with the local beach community. Social membership is available, and visitors are welcome. Membership benefits also support the lifesaving work associated with the club, giving the venue a community-focused character alongside its dining and entertainment functions.

Additional facilities include a gaming lounge, TAB area and Keno. The club also caters for group bookings and events, with wedding receptions listed among its functions. The combination of beachfront dining, casual drinks, live entertainment and flexible spaces suits visitors looking for an easygoing venue close to the sand, as well as local groups planning a social gathering.
