Kirra Surf Life Saving Club

Established in 1916, Kirra Surf Life Saving Club is proud to be the second oldest surf lifesaving club in Queensland. Our origins are rooted in a tragic event on January 6th of that year, when two friends swimming on an unpatrolled beach faced difficulty, resulting in one of them drowning. This heartbreaking incident prompted the local community to take action, leading to the formation of our club on January 7th, 1916.
