About Seacliff Surf Life Saving Club

Perched directly over the sand, Seacliff Surf Life Saving Club pairs crisp ocean breezes with elevated, unfussy coastal dining. Regulars know it as "Seacliff Surfy"—a laid-back perch for watching the sunset over the Gulf while sharing bowls of lime pepper squid and local pints on the open-air balcony. The kitchen caters thoughtfully to every appetite, turning out classic pub staples alongside two-course senior lunch specials with appropriately scaled mains. Tables fill quickly when the acoustic sets kick off, leaving diners to linger over plates of crispy fish and chips while waves crash just steps away.

  • Oceanfront Balcony Dining: Open-air balcony and upper verandah tables look out across the sand and water, ideal for sunset drinks.
  • Two-Course Seniors Menu: Lunch service features a dedicated two-course menu with tailored, smaller-portioned mains.

  • Tailored Seniors Lunch Menu

    A dedicated two-course seniors lunch menu offers tailored smaller mains and courses suited for lunchtime diners.

    And I discovered they offered a seniors lunch menu! If you’re a senior with a smaller appetite, the seniors lunches are perfect with smaller main courses
