Welcome to Cairns Surf LIFE SAVING Club

The Cairns Surf Life Saving Club is one of the oldest Surf Life Saving clubs in Queensland, having been formed in 1924 as a volunteer organization to patrol the Northern Beaches of Cairns.

Originally patrolling the Cairns Esplanade, the club moved to Yorkey’s Knob before moving to the Northern end of Palm Cove in 1953. Cairns SLSC maintains its voluntary patrols of the beach on weekends and public holidays from April to November. The club offers activities for junior members aged between 5 and 13 (known universally as “Nippers”), and for senior members through to a thriving “Masters” (over 30) contingent.

🔐 Social Media Age Restrictions 🔐

At Cairns SLSC, the safety and wellbeing of our members always come first.

Due to current social media age restrictions and safety requirements, the club will not be using any platforms that do not meet these standards.

We are in the process of selecting a safe and compliant communication platform for the season ahead.
